The notion that performers must have hit songs is absurd, says Ambolley
Gyedu Blay Ambolley, a legendary artist, has a message for up-and-coming talents in an industry that is sometimes characterized by flimsy chart-toppers and internet sensations: “You don’t need hit songs to stay relevant in the music industry.”
As Ambolley, a real pathfinder, continues to be a musical force to be reckoned with, his remarks carry the weight of decades of expertise.
Gyedu Blay Ambolley, also known as the “Simigwa Do Man” because of his well-known song, has carved out a distinct niche for himself in the music industry.
Ambolley’s career has been defined by a devotion to making timeless music that crosses generations, unlike many singers who go after one-hit wonders. He thinks upcoming performers can learn from his experience.
In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, the music legend stated that, in contrast to the widely held belief that an artist must continually generate hits to remain relevant, he feels that the best course of action is to meticulously create music that connects with listeners.
“I don’t believe that a musician needs to consistently create hits after smashes in order to make a name for themselves. In fact, work harder and create timeless music if you ever want to establish yourself in this field. To ensure that your audience can still connect with your work even when you take a break, concentrate on the caliber of your music and the topics you want to address.
“It’s crazy to think that a musician has to put out a hit song every day. You can concentrate on creating hits if you are just interested in playing gigs because event organizers want to hear your music. Instead of assisting you in developing your craft, they simply think about how they can profit off of your currency. However, if you have long-term goals, create timeless music,” he advised the Graphic Showbiz.
