Originally from the village of Kamalo in Sierra Leone, Charles Joe Koroma made the decision to move to Sweden in 2003. With a strong work ethic and a creative mind, he pursued a career in music and released his first song in 2005. In 2007, he began sharing his music and performing in a group called the G-Force. The group remained together until 2017, at which point Charles Joe Koroma ventured out as a solo artist with the stage name C-Joe. During his time with the G-Force, they achieved both national and international recognition, earning various awards.

Speaking to Afrocommunity, C-Joe expresses his sense of achievement as a participant in the esteemed Melody Festivalen Music competition in Sweden, particularly as an artist within the afrobeats genre. He believes that his involvement in this competition will help establish afrobeats as a significant genre in Sweden.

C-Joe further reveals his aspirations, stating, "Now that I am here, I want to go all the way and represent Sweden at the Eurovision. I hope that my journey can inspire other afrobeats artists to persevere and succeed in Sweden."

It is worth noting that there have been other notable Africans who have participated in the national competition in the past, such as Dr. Alban, Loreen (who not only won the national competition but also went on to win the continental competition Eurovision), and Panetoz.

However, C-Joe intends to bring something fresh to the event by introducing a new flavor with his afrobeats style. His participation in the competition will play a significant role in introducing and popularizing afrobeats within the Swedish national consciousness.

C-Joe will also be counting on votes from a Afrobeats lovers and African community in Sweden to scale through to the final of the event which kicks-off in early February, 2024.
