LG SKILLZ, born Lika Emmanuel in a refugee camp in Uganda, is a South Sudanese multi-talented artist whose music carries the weight of real-life stories and the hope of a brighter tomorrow. A singer, rapper, music producer, videographer, photographer, content creator, and actor, he is also the visionary head of BTA Entertainment.

Specializing in Afropop, with influences from Afrobeat, R&B, Dancehall, Hip-Hop, and swing beats, LG SKILLZ creates inspirational and emotional songs that reflect true experiences—his own and those of others facing life’s struggles. His music is not defined as strictly gospel or secular; instead, it sits at the heart of humanity, built on motivation, hope, and faith in God. Through every lyric and melody, he seeks to inspire people never to lose hope, even in the hardest circumstances.

Currently, LG SKILLZ is an independent artist—without a manager or promoter—struggling to send his message to the world through his music. His musical motto is clear: “Music is the life, and the lyrics tell you the stories.” Though the journey is not easy when standing alone, he keeps pushing with hope that one day he will find a manager and promoter to walk beside him.

Growing up in the camp shaped his perspective and strengthened his dream of telling stories through art. Though he once sang songs without deep meaning, today he focuses on music that speaks truth, inspires change, and uplifts the soul. Despite the challenges of refugee life, he continues to try his best to change the world through his songs.

LG SKILLZ represents resilience, faith, and creativity—a young artist carrying the message that one day, stories of struggle will transform into stories of triumph.
