Filling The O2 And Winning Grammys Is Not The Standard For GH Artistes – Wendy Shay: The latest Ghanaian singer to weigh in on the ongoing discussion over Ghanaian performers packing the O2 Arena and winning Grammys is Rufftown record signed vocalist Wendy Shay.
When Nigeria’s Asake performed well at the O2 Arena, the discussion flared up. Shatta Wale praised the musician on Twitter while criticizing Ghanaian showbiz figures, writing that “Nigerians are making Ghanaian showbiz look like feeding bottle.”
His remark sparked a contentious debate on social media and sparked extensive discussion across a number of traditional media sites.
There is no pressure on Ghanaian artists to fill the O2 Arena, Stonebwoy stated in a Twitter chat with Serwaa Aminhere following the argument. I perceive awareness.
The most recent musician to speak out on the issue, Wendy Shay, has pleaded with business leaders to give Ghanaian musicians some breathing room.
Why have selling out the O2 and winning Grammy awards come to represent the benchmark for judging an artist’s success, she asked? Although successful performers, Bob Marley and 2pac have never received a Grammy, she claimed.
She continued to say that “…Let Ghanaian musicians breath”.
Singer Wendy Shay is from Ghana and has a record deal with Rufftown Music. Wendy Shay was listed by the 3Music Awards Women’s Brunch as one of the Top 30 Most Influential Women in Music in 2021.
In 2018, after the untimely passing of the Late Ebony, Bullet, the head of Rufftown Records, announced Wendy Shay as a new signee.
On June 1, 2018, Wendy released “Uber Driver,” her debut song, which was created and polished by MOG Beatz.
