Ghanaian high-life musician, Akwasi Opoku Addae who is called by the stage name Kwaisey Pee has revealed through an interview he had on Graphic showbiz how has suffered in the last 13 years of his music career.
According to the singer, he has made four attempts to leave to quit music as a career due to frustrations in the Ghanaian music industry.
He continued to say that, his frustrations commenced when he had a lot of irritating comments and insults whenever he released his songs.
“For the past 13 years, I have been releasing good songs but they don’t get the needed attention, they are rather met with insults. I have personally sent some of my songs to radio stations after releasing them and as we speak, I am yet to hear them on air.
“I mostly get comments like stay away from music and give the young ones a chance and that I am too old to do music, others tell me straight away they are not interested in my works.”
“Such comments make me feel so bad that all I want to do is to give up on music. In fact, I have thought about it on a number of occasions to stop doing music and venture into other stuff.” He told Graphic Showbiz.
Kwaisey Pee also disclosed that his family and friends do not allow him to go by his decision to quit music.
“Whenever I decide to abandon music, I consult family and friends and they never support me. I remember telling a colleague musician I was tired of music and wanted to switch to something else. He came over and spent close to two hours convincing me to stay in the industry. My family never supports me anytime I discuss leaving music.”
The singer in 2007, won the Best Male Vocal performance at the Ghana Music Awards.
