The energy at the Torcher Experience in Ho was already electric—but things reached a whole new level when Ghanaian music star Stonebwoy turned a concert moment into a powerful act of generosity.
During his performance, the award-winning artiste paused mid-show to make a major announcement: he had donated GH¢100,000 as seed funding for the Volta Youth Development Fund, an initiative focused on supporting youth entrepreneurship and expanding opportunities for young people across the Volta Region.
The surprise donation instantly became one of the night’s biggest highlights, proving that the Torcher Experience was about more than music—it was also about investing in the future.
The event drew several notable leaders, including James Gunu, who attended with a delegation featuring Edem Agbana (MP for Ketu North) and Edem Kpotosu (MP for Ho Central).
During the celebration, the delegation presented Stonebwoy with a citation recognizing his impact on music and youth development. They also joined in cutting a birthday cake for the artiste, turning the night into a double celebration for fans and supporters.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, James Gunu praised Stonebwoy for consistently shining a spotlight on the region and the country.
According to him, the musician has played a major role in projecting the Volta Region and Ghana onto the global stage through music, while motivating young people to pursue their passions and ambitions.
The Torcher Experience—held in Ho—proved that entertainment and impact can go hand in hand. With the new Volta Youth Development Fund set to empower aspiring entrepreneurs, Stonebwoy’s gesture is already being celebrated as a game-changing move for the region’s youth.
For fans in attendance, it was a night to remember:great music, a heartfelt birthday celebration, and a powerful investment in the next generation.
