Elom Adablah, better known by his stage name EL has shared an intriguing facet of his personality unbeknownst to his fans all this while.
The Artiste of the Year at the 2016 Vodafone Ghana Awards (VGMA) shared how he had hustled in the USA to make ends meet.
In a recent interview with 3Music TV, EL admitted that there was a time when, despite still being regarded as a big singer in Ghana, he had to work as a food delivery man in the US simply to keep body and soul together. He claimed that experience taught him humility.

Time teaches you so many valuable lessons and it changes you, especially when you go through a few things. I’ve passed through before.
There was a point in time in the States I had to start doing food delivery. Yeah, it was that deep. I delivered food door to door just to keep myself going,” he disclosed in the interview.
I’ve actually passed through things and that stuff teaches you things like humility. So anytime I see an artist and they come to me for advice the first thing I tell them is cool down, you know see anything yet.
