Artistes who’ve experienced poverty before know how to manage when they start getting money – Epixode

Reggae dancehall recording artiste, Epixode born Theophilus Nii Arday Otoo has said that some artistes come into the limelight after getting a hit song but are unable to manage it well.

According to the winner of 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Reggae Dancehall Artiste of the Year, artistes who have experienced poverty before know to manage when they start getting money after making it in the music industry.

“I think that it’s an individual mindset and an individual decision to stay relevant because some people get opportunity to be in the limelight and get hit songs but they are not able to manage it well,” he said.

“When you have experienced poverty before, if you get small money you’d know how to control it so the best thing that keeps me going is always trying to build upon the craft,” he told Amansan Krakye.

He added on Kastle FM in Cape Coast “Trying to stay relevant and trying to learn, me for instance if you book me for a show I make sure that when I come I make sure I learn from the different artistes on the bill.

“That is why I have stayed consistent till now so it’s not really about entering into the game but how consistent you’d stay as an artiste which you’ll feel the longevity in the industry,” he concluded.
