“My empire song is different from the usual Tamale trend of music but take it 5years ago, if I had made that song, people would have said it’s not a nice song.

5years ago if you didn’t do the kpa kpa song DJs wouldn’t play it because they feel like it will not enter into their mixing and it was really affecting the creativity of the industry and everyone was doing the same thing” — OneNaira

“At first we thought only DJs can promote us, but now that’s not the case. We have a new breed of fans and they like to explore different music genres unlike the old days DJs dictate which music fans should listen to.

These days everything is online, fans go to music sites and stream. On selling of CDs, most of our fan base can access music streaming sites, so that’s why we mostly prefer online sharing than sales of CDs.” — Gaffachi
