Rophnan

At the first half of 2019 Rophnan went on the My Generation national tour, filling up stadiums with his "Phans" across the country.

In July 2019, Rophnan was featured on Forbes Africa's 30 under 30 list in the Creative Category, naming Rophnan as one of the continent biggest influencers that year. Rophnan is the first Ethiopian musician to be featured on the list.

In May 2018, Rophnan released his debut album, named Netsebraq, meaning "reflection". This was the first electronic music LP to ever be released in Ethiopia. The album was released by RAEY Records and distributed by Sigma. A shorter version of the album, named Netsebraq E.P. was released by the Ghanaian label Akwaaba Music. Netsebraq was deeply rooted in raw traditional Ethiopian music but also mixing futuristic aesthetics into the powerful songs which reflected Rophnan's generation and artistic vision. Introducing a new musical message, the album took a little while to be absorbed by the Ethiopian market, but in just a few months, the album's reach expanded from clubs, to street corners, to radio stations and finally became the most played album of the year. Respectively, Rophnan became one of the most celebrated artists in the country. The release of the album coincided with a governmental change which brought a new spirit and energy to the youth of Ethiopia, and Netsebraq became the soundtrack of those winds of change. Soon after the album release Rophnan has performed live in the popular Ehud Be EBS TV show where he delivered a 10-minute set of live music, becoming the first artist ever to not lip-sync on the show. The video went viral and was viewed by millions.

The album won Rophnan three 2018's Leza Awards including Album of The Year, becoming a ground breaking release for an emerging genre.

2018 also saw world-famous music group Major Lazer feature the track "Get To Work" on their "Africa To The World" compilation, highlighting Rophnan's place in the forefront of contemporary African music. At the end of the 2018 Rophnan participated in Coke Studio Africa in Nairobi, where a collaboration with Zambian Rapper Chef 187 resulted in an original track named "All The Way". The powerful track and the use of ancient African instrumentation, together with cutting-edge sound design, drew positive feedback across the continent and became one of the season musical highlights.
