Kwesi Foraes is a singer-songwriter from Long Beach, who makes blues, rock, and folk music. Foraes struggled from depression due to the fact that he lost three family members within a year. As a result, his music is very dark and deals with the addictions of lust, drugs, and love that almost took his life. Foraes has a very powerful voice that howls over gentle beats while he pours his heart out in songs like "Heroin," and "Devils Child.". In 2016 Foraes dropped his debut EP, 27.
