The artiste got the name Skrew Faze ( Screw Face) during his time in Senior Secondary School. Before the release of his first solo album (2004), Halleluyah, Skrew was part of a group called CASHFACE, which consisted of himself, CASTRO and SHILOH. the group had hit songs like 419, MAAMI and SO FAR SO GOOD.

A few weeks after the release of the first album, Skrew embarked on a European tour accompanied by REGGY ZIPPY, KWABENA KWABENA and AGYABOMOFOUR.

Skrew Faze is known for his creativity and humility, something which sets him apart from a lot of the musicians in Ghana. Gbalagazaaa became an instant hit because of the francophone beats interlaced with the local language. it created a new term which the locals started using.
A few months after the release of Gbalagazaaa, Skrew embarked on a trip to Equitorial Guinea, with his fellow musician BERIMA SIDNEY. The reason for the trip was a performance for the president of the mention country.

Skrew released his third album in 2011, Consynment (kpii kpaa kporr). Like the previous album, it is laced with francophone beats and local Ghanaian languages. 2011 also saw the launching of the Consynment band, a liveband which accompanies him on his various tours.
Skrew is a trend setter that uses his creativity to the maximum. Terms like Consynment, Kpii Kpaa, Gbozaa, Gbalagazaaa is widely used by the local population due to the creativity and the charisma of Skrew Faze.
Skrew Faze has founded his own record label, CONSYNMENT NATION ENTERTAINMENT, which he hopes will help nourish the abundant talent Ghana has. The artiste is also working on a charity foundation to help the less fortunate of Ghana.
