Early Life and Education
Irene Elizabeth Grace Logan arrived on February 16, 1984, in Monrovia, Liberia, to parents immersed in the arts who ignited her musical spark. Her father, Thomas Logan balanced accounting with music, while mother Tina Logan taught and performed gospel.
Her father passed from illness when she was two months old. The First Liberian Civil War in the early 1990s compelled her and her mother to relocate to Accra, Ghana, forging her strength and advocacy focus.
She studied at John Teye Memorial School, then excelled at Achimota School through 2003 in literature, history, and music, thriving in choir and debate circles. Logan briefly studied marketing at Zenith University College before exiting after two years to dedicate herself to music.
Career
Irene Logan’s professional journey launched in 2006 when she claimed victory in the debut Stars of the Future singing competition, gaining recognition for her powerful vocals, emotional delivery, and stage command that opened key industry doors.
Her breakthrough single “Runaway” with Asem in 2009 became a massive regional hit, merging highlife and R&B into her signature Afro Soul style, followed quickly by the equally successful “Kabila” that same year. During the competition, she connected with Efya (Jane Awindor) to form the duo Irene & Jane, releasing their 2007 album Unveiled with popular tracks like “Baby” and “Heated Up” before amicably parting after a year to pursue solo paths.
As a solo artist, she delivered standout releases such as “My Mind Dey” in 2011, which featured in the Adams Apples film series, along with “Akwasi Casanova” in 2013, “SA” and “Na Me Dey There” featuring Asem in 2014, “Medowo” in 2015, and “Conga” with Wiyaala in 2016.
She enriched her work through collaborations including Trigmatic’s “Light and Darkness,” Okyeame Kwame’s “Mr Versatile,” Stonebwoy’s “Ghetto Love,” and Asem’s “1000 Fights and Make Up.”
Known for dynamic live shows, Logan opened for artists like Beenie Man in 2005 and Jay Z in 2006, appeared on Big Brother Africa in 2007, and performed at major events including the Kora and Ghana Music Awards.
In recent years, she transitioned to gospel music following a personal spiritual calling, delivering a memorable rendition of “The Impossible Dream” at former President Jerry John Rawlings’ funeral in 2021.
Logan helms Tribassa Limited as CEO and Creative Director, blending African heritage with upscale design for worldwide appeal.
Personal Life
Logan married Prince Joey in a lively traditional rite on April 19, 2024, embracing name Grace Osei while sustaining her career. She hails marriage as her top life choice, fully committing to family.
Mother’s gospel roots and stepfather’s guitar work fueled her start; by age three, she debuted publicly with Christian Action Faith Ministry.
A UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador since 2010, she founded “I Am the Future” for youth, plus MTN (2006) and Globacom (2009) roles.
She delivered the “Star Spangled Banner” for Ghana at U.S. Independence Day 2021.
