02The story
Two worlds, one purpose.
Putugah Takpaw P.H.E.N.O.M., affectionately known as Putu, is a product of two worlds: shaped by the depth of Liberian culture and history, and sharpened by the realities of growing up in America.
From childhood he witnessed the challenges facing his communities, his home nation and the world, and set out to make the world better than how he met it. Today he translates Web3 into the cultural language of the diaspora.
From community activism and The Liberia Heals Initiative to his debut album Save the World, or Stop Trying? and his work during the Ebola epidemic, Putu has used music and leadership to serve something larger than himself. Today he is a digital visionary committed to educating and uplifting the diaspora in the age of blockchain.
He set out to make the world better than how he met it.
