Celebrated Ghanaian singer, Efya has shed light on her prolonged musical hiatus and her erratic song release schedule.
Jane Fara Fauzzier Afia Boafowaa Yahaya Awindor, 36 offered a frank explanation as to why she had been absent from show business for such a long time during her appearance as a guest on 3FM’s Urban Blend with AJ Sarpong.
In the exclusive interview, the ‘Forgetting Me’ songstress revealed that a broken heart was the reason why she refrained from singing during that period.
“My heart was broken,” she said to the shock of host, AJ.
According to the award-winning songbird and a self-proclaimed “baby girl,” her emotional well-being has a significant influence on her artistry hence her refusal to confront her pain through music and rather take a step back from the spotlight.
“I was heartbroken that I didn’t want to sing. You know I’m a baby girl so the way I feel matters to me a lot and it wasn’t something I wanted to deal with at that time,” she revealed
Moreover, Efya shared that she had been tirelessly working in the music industry for 15 years without taking a break.
Throughout this extensive period, she actively performed on numerous shows and consistently represented her craft.
“Also, I’ve been working for 15 years without break and in between these times I’ve been performing on all the shows and still representing. And I think I gave everyone their feature,” she concluded.
Efya who has one mixtape and an album to her credit since going solo has also blessed audiences with songs including One of Your Own ft Bisa Kdei, Daddy Yo ft Wizkid, Getaway, Best In Me and her numerous features with Sarkodie.
