Don’t focus on awards – Bisa Kdei to artistes

Ghanaian Highlife Musician, Ronald Kweku Dei Appiah, popularly known as Bisa Kdei has advised artistes to focus on making great songs rather than winning awards.

In an interview with Happy FM's DJ Advicer on the ‘Ayekoo After Drive' show, he recounted how disappointed he was for a brief moment when the 2016 VGMA Artiste of the Year award went to EL instead of him.

He, however, related that the experience thought him the lesson of focusing on his music rather than awards.

“We all thought the same [winning the award]. Sometimes things happen and we can't change it. If you know something won't go well for you at the initial stages, you become surprised.

After that, I learnt that as an artiste you don't focus on awards. You need to focus on what you are doing in music”, he said.
