Female Artistes Should Come Together - Akiyana

Akiyana has labelled the division amongst female artistes in Ghana as bad for the development of more female artists in the industry.

According to her, female musicians must bond to set good examples for those that will be coming after them.

Collaborations between more artistes should be encouraged instead of the current competitiveness and bickering that females have for each other.

“I feel like women in general, sometimes some people have certain attitudes that are not good for business, but the thing is, we do different genres, we can be friends if you give me your lyrics I might not sing it the way you sing it, if I give you mine, you might not sing it the way I sing it so I don’t see it as we are even competing with each other”.

“I have a different vibe, I like everybody, you understand but sometimes you see people and you’re trying to be nice to them and they are like: but you too, who is this?"

"So that thing alone will put me off and I would even feel shy getting closer to you because I feel like when I get close to you, you would shy me, so that too put me in a place that I cannot open up”.

The Afro-Dancehall diva said this in an interview with Cookie Tee on New Day on TV3.

Akiyana has been on the scene for about nine years under the umbrella of the erstwhile Shatta Movement Family, which was headed by the late Vybrant Faya before she signed on to Zylofon Music.

The ‘Nobody Bad’ hitmaker is an Ivorian-born Ghanaian songstress, who is a product of Aburi Girls Senior High School, and a graduate of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in China, with a degree in International Economics and Trade.
