RuffTown Records signee, Wendy Shay, has urged Ghanaian artists to get spiritual backing in order to excel in their careers.
According to the singer, an artist's talent is not enough to reach the peak of one's career but having faith in one’s object of worship adds up to their hard work.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Twitter Spaces Wendy Shay mentioned that;
“Every artist you have seen on top is not doing what they are doing carnally. I go by the mantra ‘work hard and have faith.’ Hard work goes hand in hand with faith.
"After working hard, going to the studio, recording songs, doing whatever you do, you should also seek spiritual back-ups." She advised.
"None of us do what we do carnally. It is either you are in the light or you are in the darkness. This is what a lot of underground musicians don’t know. It is either you believe in God or Jesus Christ or whatever you believe in, to order your steps for you. I mean, if you do it with your natural strength, you’ll get tired and discouraged.” She added.
“Music is a spiritual journey; it has profoundly shaped the woman I am today. It has made me more attuned to the spiritual dimensions of life and the intricacies of the industry I belong to. Growing up in Germany, I never experienced anything like this, but upon coming to Ghana, I had to embrace the spiritual aspect.” Wendy disclosed.
After five years of being in the Ghanaian music industry, Wendy has been criticized back-to-back even though has won some awards and topped international music charts to her credit.
