Being female in any industry is very crazy. The music industry is very male-dominated, so to be an independent artist who is female and doing this three years after leaving her record label, and still get nominated for awards, performing where ever, and able to shoot my videos, it\u2019s just beautiful to me and it\u2019s not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>READ ALSO: Money Is Not Her Problem, She Lacks Respect \u2013 Alleged Classmate Of Anita Boakye Pins Possible Cause For Divorce<\/h4>\n<p>She lamented over how the male artists in Ghana are always mentioned at the expense of female artists.

At the end of the day when people come to town looking for female musicians, I\u2019m like the first they call so what\u2019s happening? In an award scheme in Nigeria, I was the only female they called, so why won\u2019t they mention my name? Why won\u2019t they mention Efya\u2019s name or Jackie, or Wendy Shay?
