George Quarshie Ofori, known in the music world as GeorgeInTown, was born on May 25, 1997, in Tema, Ghana. Raised in a family that wasn’t wealthy but full of love and support, George moved to Almeria, Spain, at the tender age of eight in 2005. His family’s journey was marked by challenges, but they laid the foundation for the strong values and resilience that George embodies today.
George’s early life in Spain was filled with a mix of struggles and memorable experiences. Adapting to a new culture and language was no easy feat. The first year in Spain was particularly challenging as George could not speak a word of Spanish. Despite daily language lessons from his parents, the language barrier led to him repeating his first year in school. However, this setback did not deter George; by the following year, he had gained enough proficiency in Spanish to move forward in his education.
Education was a significant part of George’s journey. He attended school in Spain, where he navigated the unique Spanish grading system, which included repeating grades multiple times. Despite the academic challenges and the strict discipline enforced by his parents, George succeeded, developing a deep appreciation for his roots and the values instilled in him by his family.
In 2016, George moved to Coventry, United Kingdom, where his father had settled two years earlier. He enrolled in City College Coventry with the goal of studying Sports Management, a field that aligned with his passion for sports, particularly football. Although the course was initially full, George’s determination saw him pivot to Public Services, where he excelled and proved his physical prowess.
A year later, George’s football talent caught the attention of London Football College, prompting a move to London in 2017. There, he studied BTEC Sport Lv2 and Lv3, continuing to develop both his academic and athletic skills. Despite facing financial difficulties, George remained committed to his goals, relying on his faith in God and his relentless work ethic.
While sports were a significant part of George’s life, his ultimate dream was to become a professional artist. Inspired by icons like Chris Brown, ASAP Rocky, Tyga, and Travis Scott, GeorgeInTown began his music career in October 2020, during the global COVID-19 pandemic. His foray into music was almost serendipitous; a friend and former song partner, Kwabz J, invited him to a studio session. What began as a collaboration turned into a passion, with George discovering his unique style and voice in the music industry.
For George, music is more than just a career—it’s a medium to share his story and inspire others. He prides himself on his uniqueness, refusing to compare himself to other artists. His music reflects his life experiences, and he hopes to one day sit alongside his musical heroes, a dream he believes is within reach
Outside of music, George is passionate about football, video games, writing lyrics, going to the gym, and, like many, enjoys a good rest. These hobbies not only provide him with balance but also fuel his creativity and determination.
George’s life philosophy is centered around gratitude and self-value. He is deeply grateful for what he has achieved and constantly strives to improve himself. His unwavering faith in God guides his decisions, and he believes in the power of hope, which he considers essential for overcoming life’s challenges.
Looking ahead, George is working on several music projects, including singles that tell personal stories from his life before moving to England. One of his upcoming releases, titled “Flow,” is a powerful anthem about his journey to success and his determination to make a name for himself, similar to figures like Bill Gates.
One of George’s most unforgettable moments was his first performance at Paradise Club in Vauxhall, where he performed in front of over 500 strangers. This experience not only catapulted his confidence but also solidified his commitment to his craft.
