Support female artistes to thrive —Sefa
FEMALE songstress, Sefadzi Abena Amesu, popularly known as Sefa has called on stakeholders in Creative Arts Industry, fellow artistes to support and rally behind female artistes.
According to her, this would increase the need for equal opportunities, increased visibility and stronger support systems to help them thrive.
The ‘echoke’ hitmaker stated that though both male and female artistes were contributing immensely in the entertainment industry, the limelight and support is on the males, making it difficult for the females to break through.
Sefa however, stated that a lot of female artistes were going through challenges and are unable to open up because they are not giving the needed support.
She explained that accomplishments by male musicians often receive greater publicity, while similar successes by female artistes frequently go underreported.
“Now the support in the industry is okay as compared to the time past. I think we can do better as an industry by supporting us.”
Sefa cited how a concert hosted by Wendy Shay did not receive the level of attention, adding that females in the entertainment need that attention most.
“If we can help each other, it will be great because we can’t let people from other places praise us” she added.
Sefa started her music career as a singer performing with live bands at bars, pubs and events in Accra.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
