“Music was actually my first love,” she started, “but I, unfortunately, lost the interest since back in the days the music industry wasn’t favorable to females.
“Besides, the kind of music I wanted to do then, Ghanaians were not really exposed to that style of music. So it was a bit of a struggle to fit in and unfortunately, I lost the interest. However, your first love will always be your love so I’m back. I intend pursuing music again,” she said.
