Seek Spiritual Support To Succeed In Music-Wendy Shay Advises Fellow Artistes

Award-winning Ghanaian female artiste Wendy Shay has advised fellow artistes in the industry to seek spiritual backing to excel in the field.

The Ruff Town Records signee explained that talent was not enough, as it takes faith in one’s object of worship to complement hard work in the music industry.

In an interview on the success stories and challenges of women in showbiz, the’ Survivor’ hitmaker noted that no artiste can get to the top without spiritual fortification.

“Every artiste you have seen on top is not doing what they are doing carnally. I go by the mantra’ work hard and have faith.’ Hard work goes hand in hand with faith,” She said.

“After working hard, going to the studio, recording songs, doing whatever you do, you should also seek for [sic] spiritual back-ups. None of us do what we do carnally. It is either you are in the light, or you are in the darkness. This is what a lot of underground musicians don’t know. Either you believe in God or Jesus Christ or whatever you believe in to order your steps. I mean, if you do it with your natural strength, you’ll get tired and discouraged,” she noted in an interview monitored by The Ghana Report on Joy FM.

Wendy Shay revealed recently that she has had numerous spiritual attacks since she joined the industry five years ago.

“Music is a spiritual journey; it has profoundly shaped the woman I am today. It has made me more attuned to the spiritual dimensions of life and the intricacies of the industry I belong to. Growing up in Germany, I never experienced anything like this, but upon coming to Ghana, I had to embrace the spiritual aspect,” she said.

Wendy Shay is known for songs like ‘Bedroom Commando’, ‘Uber Driver’, ‘Masakra’, ‘Habibi’, ‘Break My Waist’, ‘Heaven’, ‘Ghana Boys’, ‘Pause and Dance’, ‘Emergency’.
