Hit songs are easier to make than when we started – Stonebwoy

Raggae-Dancehall artiste Livingstone Etse Satekla popularly known as Stonebwoy in an interview with AJ pounds on the midmorning show on Onua FM said that having a hit song is easier today than when he started his career.

Stonebwoy also admonished young musicians to work hard and maximize the use of social media in promoting their craft.

Stonebwoy said, “With the advent of social media, it’s easy to get a hit song today than when we started. Some people started before us. And what you are doing now, someone has done it before. If you look up to me, know this, I started way back’

Looking stoic at this stage, Stonebowy  noted, that regardless the fame and level he has attained in career, he has gone through the mill to make it this far and that he didn’t get to the limelight on a silver platter

‘I’m a hustler, and I still hustle. I’ve suffered and still suffer because of where i want to be. By God’s grace, things are better and more beautiful now. So, remember this, I did not make it within a year’.

He went on to say that, hard work, determination and prayers have kept him going so the youth should not lose hope but rather persevere and the results will be evident for all to see.

‘ It’s been hard work, determination, and prayers. So don’t lose hope. Keep on and use any avenue you have. Like social media, because in our time there was no such thing, our social media was being a hustler. Now social media is doing the magic, people listen to music via Tik Tok,” Stonebwoy concluded.

Stonebwoy also said that he released his very  first song in the year 2006, after he had completed Senior High School’.
