Profile: Get To Know Cameroonian Rising Singer Diri45 | 237Showbiz

Name: Derant Suh (Ngie/Bafut)
Born: Muyuka, Cameroon
Raised: Limbe, Tiko, Buea

Derant Suh is a passionate music entrepreneur and founder of 45 Records, committed to nurturing raw talent and pushing Cameroonian music across borders.

He schooled at GHS Limbe and briefly at the University of Buea before financial difficulties forced him to drop out. Determined to change his story, he hustled, traveled, and pursued Finance and Credit in Belarus before returning home.

A lifelong music lover, Derant recorded his first studio songs at age 12 but abandoned the dream due to life’s challenges. Years later, with renewed drive and resources, he decided to return to music—not just for himself, but to help others realize their dreams so that hidden talents don’t die like his once did.

Derant’s philosophy is clear:

“We don’t go for ready-made talents. We find those who can’t even afford studio sessions, build them, mould them, and teach them, until they are ready to be seen by the world.”

He invests his time, money, and heart paying for beats, producers, feeding, recording, and housing artists who have nowhere to stay. Despite the challenges of Cameroon’s music industry high costs for promotions, video shoots, and features with no immediate returns he keeps going for the love of the culture.

Under 45 Records, Derant has worked on impactful projects:
• “Coup D’état” (ft. Yung Time & Tahbax) – first 45 Records project
• “Rise” (ft. Yung Time & Tahbax) – second 45 Records project
• “Juju” (ft. Chefor & Tahbax) – third project
• Upcoming solo projects from Sneh Dem, his first artist, who featured on “Rise” and is now ready to step into the spotlight.

While working on these collaborations, Derant has been steadily building a body of work for his artists, ensuring they are fully prepared before being introduced to the public.

His mission is clear:
“To take Cameroon music across borders. We’ve been enclosed for too long. Now, we will be heard worldwide.”

Currently based in Buea, Derant Suh continues to work tirelessly with his team to elevate young artists, proving that with vision, dedication, and community spirit, Cameroonian music can break barriers globally.
