Emerging seemingly out of nowhere, Safo Newman made a splash in the music scene with his hit single “Akokoa” late last year, quickly gaining traction on social media and racking up significant streams across various platforms.
But beyond his musical talent, what’s been catching the eye of fans and followers alike is his consistent choice of headwear, the beanie.
In an exclusive interview with Graphic Showbiz, Safo Newman revealed the sentimental story behind his signature style.
Contrary to mere fashion, each beanie he wears is a symbol of gratitude to a mysterious benefactor who played a pivotal role in his musical journey.
Describing this mentor figure as akin to a father, Safo Newman expressed profound appreciation for the unwavering support and guidance he received, both financially and emotionally, since the outset of his career in 2019.
“The beanie is more than just an accessory for me,” he explained. “It’s a tribute to someone who believed in me when few others did, someone who supported me selflessly despite our lack of blood relation. Wearing it is my way of honouring his generosity and keeping his spirit close.”
As Safo Newman continues to make waves in the music industry, his beanie has become more than a fashion statement, it’s a touching reminder of the profound impact of mentorship and support on one’s journey to success.
