In an interview with Pulse.ng, Ghanaian singer Efya, reveals her
admiration for Don Jazzy, and how much she'll love to make good music
with him.
Ghanaian songbird, Efya, has expressed her long-held desire to work with Nigerian producer, Don Jazzy.
The
multi-award winning singer, best known for her strength in vocals and
serenading soul music, has always been affiliated with Nigerian music,
featuring in numerous productions, and collaborations. But in all of
these, Efya still holds dear her enduring wish to work with the CEO of Mavin Records.
She told Pulse.ng: It's
definitely Don Jazzy. Because he's Don Jazzy again. I've known him for a
couple of years and he's one of my mentors, so he knows my music, knows
what kind of music he'll make for me that will appeal to the Nigerian
market,
So I'm working on that. It's gonna
happen soon. It's not like a dream, it's a reality now. I chased him for
five years though (laughs), but it's cool.
Efya
also believes that the perceived rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana in
the entertainment space isn't needed, sharing her opinion that the two
countries make good music together.
“We're kinda
like the 2 heads, even though you guys (Nigerians) have crazy numbers,
but we're battling because of the talent. You all can sing, we can
sing...better sometimes. I think competition is good, it's great. Keeps
everybody on their feet.
But I like it. Even though there some kind of this
rivalry, we always come together and make music together. And when we do
that, we realize that we don't even need the rivalry, because we ame
amazing music together.
“I don't know, however it happens, we're still out here, we do our best.
Nigerian
music has grown over the years, expanding to the farthest corners of
the globe. Efya believes also that we have got it right here.
“I've
heard some really good music, Charlie you guys really go ham. There are
a couple of artistes that I admire. I can't really pick one. I'm even
listening to like Poe, and some other underground rappers. I can say
definitely that I like the sound, even though sometimes they sound the
same, but they find a way to make it sound different.
“Shout out to all the good producers out there, you guys are making some amazing music, we're coming.” She added.
