Isaac Kofi Arthur was born on *December 25, 1987,*. He is a Ghanaian actor, commercial model, creative writer, CEO of IA MULTIMEDIA and an entrepreneur.

He landed a tv commercial after his performance in the show with Capital Line Investment Limited. Moreover, Isaac went on to land a lead role in a tv series called 'Primary Mates' that featured Raquel Ammah the singer, Jessica Larnyoh and Sabrina Paleari. After the (pilot) season 1 was shot-making preparation for season 2 to be shot, the director and producer of the show Mr. Jewette Johnson passed on so the series couldn't come on air. Isaac went to the Creativeland film school for a while and left due to personal reasons and started making his own research online about the entertainment industry with respect to acting and singing. After senior high school in 2006, Isaac enrolled at the Zenith University College in 2008 and studied Business Information Systems (BIS) for a while and pulled out to pursue his acting dream. He appeared on the runway for Sarkodie's clothing line called Sark collections which was held at Aphrodisiac night club in 2013. In 2014, he was cast to play a lead in Airtel's Tv commercial dubbed *'Airtel Premier'.* Subsequently, in 2015 Ike landed a supporting role in Pascal Amanfo's produced Christian movie titled "In God's Name" which later the title of the movie was changed to "tithe" where he played the character Van -a married man who was cheating on his wife in church. Also, he had played the role of 'Osa' (a man who was snatching someone's wife) in Florex Media's "Seasons In A Vow" which was premiered later in 2016 and starred Roselyn Ngissah, Kafui Danku and other movie stars. In 2016, Isaac appeared on the runway again at Accra Fashion Week (AFW) which was held at the Trade Fair organised by fashionghana. Few months after the fashion week, he suffered ruptured appendix that nearly took his life away if God hadn't intervened. After a successful surgical operation, he came out with a novel dubbed *'Beyond The Grave'.* When asked about why the title 'Beyond The Grave' in an interview with Kafui Danku on the Kafui Danku youtube show, Isaac said the inspiration of the title was derived from his painful experience at the hospital and also he wanted to play with the mind of the readers a bit when reading his first-ever fiction novel. According to Isaac, 'Beyond The Grave' will be put in a movie in the nearby future. His novel is first of its kind in the film industry which comes with picture illustrations of characters in the story acted out by about 97% new faces of actors in the Ghana film industry. He further said on the Kafui Danku YouTube channel show that his main aim of using many new faces initially in the book is because he wants the readers to be able to have a link with and familiarise themselves with the new actors and characters in the story before releasing the movie. He is a registered member of the *Ghana Actors Guild* (GAG) and *Screen Actors Guild of Ghana* (SAGG). Isaac went on to land parts in movies such as In 3 days, where he played the role of weapon, a supporting character to Ekow Smith Asante, The Cross movie, Save The Street, Nansins etc. Other Tv adverts of Isaac are Polytank (We are family) and MTN (Kokrooko). 2018 - 2019.
