There’s a certain type of hunger that can’t be taught—the kind that drives a kid to build a studio in his head before he ever sees one in real life. How did Chopstix go from secretly making beats on a borrowed computer to producing Burna Boy’s "Last Last" and winning a Grammy on Chris Brown’s 11:11 album?

In this episode of Noble Conversations, Grammy-winning producer Chopstix shares his journey from the church choir to global hits. We explore the mindset that fueled his rise, why curiosity—not access—is a creative’s greatest asset, and the billions African artists are leaving on the table by not touring the continent.

What if the solution to this gap was hidden among the 41 million active members of the African diaspora?

In this video, we delve into the story of Joe Kinvi, founder of Borderless and co-founder of HOAQ Venture Capital, who is on a mission to change the narrative.
