Ghanaian-British singer, Justin Esua-Mensah, who preferably identifies as Stinjah in the music industry, has disclosed the interesting story behind his name.
Interviewed on Y107.9FM’s Saturday morning show Wake n Bake which is hosted by Kula and LJ, he stated that his name Stinjah is basically his real name ‘Justin’ reshuffled to ‘Stin-ju’ but to maintain the pronunciation, he changed the ‘ju’ to ‘jah’.
Detailing on how he even came up with that idea he noted that it was back in high school when one of his friends started to call him ‘Ninja’ because he had a habit of suddenly disappearing from their midst without anyone noticing and later appearing again.
Stinjah continued, “Another one of my friends whose name is Yaw used to like freestyling so one day he made up a freestyle that went like ‘Ginger my ninja, Stinjah the ninja’. As soon as he said that, it got stuck and everyone else started calling me Stinjah”, he narrated.
The singer mentioned that initially, he made up the name Santiago for himself but it sounded a bit silly, hence, when his friend came up with the name Stinjah, he liked it and since everyone liked it too, he decided to stick to it.
’The Motive’ is Stinjah’s newest EP which contains five very addictive songs; Frenemy featuring Brazy, Applause, Take Time, Don’t Try and his personal favorite Shine, both featuring Brazy as well. The EP was produced by MikeMillzOn’Em and is currently out on all streaming platforms.
