Some people resort to drinking and smoking to overcome the overwhelming challenges they encounter in life.
But an Entrepreneur and entertainer, Diamond Michelle Gbagonah, popularly known as Michy has shared that she makes every effort to make smiles out of limes.
At a recent public forum over the week, the former partner of dancehall artist Shatta Wale, prayer and journaling are among the practices she has adopted to overcome life challenges.
“I would say I’m a good friend to solitude,” Michy explained, describing her deliberate practice of withdrawing from social situations when she feels emotionally overwhelmed. Rather than presenting a false front of constant composure, she’s learned to recognize when she needs time alone to process her feelings before re-engaging with the world," she stated during a question and answer session at the forum.
Ghanaian musician, AratheJay, has described all the hardships he faced at the genesis of his music career as sacrifices that led to his breakthrough.
"There are some things you need to sacrifice. If you have to go and come late to sleep outside like I did. You sleep outside and no one is coming to open the door for you...or you will go to your friend and probably he is not even there but your people at home will think you are with your friends having a good time,” he stated.
He admitted that his parents played a role in the challenges he faced, but he believes their actions were driven by love.
"There was a time they had to send a message to everyone on my contact list that no one should call me," the musician shared.
He recounted events such as his parent cautioning his contacts from talking to him, sleeping outside in the cold after returning from events late at dawn among others
Ghanaian Highlife artist KK Fosu has also stated that, despite the challenges he faced in his music career, quitting was the last things he considered to do.
According to him, music is not just a career but the heartbeat of his very existence.
“In life, you have to be a soldier and never give up. You see, the challenges will come, but you have to face them. Despite the temptations to doubt and the burden of challenges, I have never once wished to turn away from music. It is my heart, my spirit, my everything,” he reportedly said.
KK Fosu expressed gratitude to God for the gift of writing and composing songs everyday consistently.
Adding that, he might not be seen in the public eye frequently, but he is working assiduously behind the scenes.
“You might see me quiet or taking things slowly, but behind the scenes, the creativity never ceases. I write and compose every single day. I always thank God for this gift, and I reaffirm: we don’t stop. We never stop,” he added.
He has however, announced plans to launch an initiative to discover and nurture the next generation of Ghanaian music stars.
“My fans should get ready for a global Dstyle Concert and also our talent hunt aimed at nurturing the next generation of Ghanaian music stars,” the Ghanaian artiste stated.
Highlife musician, Kuami Eugene, has also confidently stated that the impact he has made through his music will not go down the drain because he departed from Lynx Entertainment.
Many have raised concerns that Kuami Eugene’s career may not rise again since he has left Lynx Entertainment. However, the singer believes otherwise.
In a video on X, the ‘Angela’ hitmaker said he has sung several hit songs, and most of them enjoy consistent play at events and in media houses.
“I sang Angela, confusion, wish me well, kwani kwani remix, obiaa to, open gate, no dulling, killing me softly and many more. So, it will take years for people to forget me.”
“During weddings, they play several of my love hit songs for the couple and the bridal party to dance. There are several songs with my name on them, how can you forget me?” he added.
