My music should speak for me

Staying scandal-free in an industry that thrives on controversies is probably an art which only a few artistes have mastered.

Although he hasn’t been in the industry for too long, five years to be exact, Afrobeats artiste King Promise seems to be mastering the art of avoiding controversies.

He stays out of ‘beefs’ involving artistes, doesn’t post anything controversial on social media and in interviews tries hard to avoid stepping on toes. He rather prefers to channel his energy into churning out great songs.

In a recent interview with Wombawaa, the musician revealed that he believed in letting his music speak for him instead of riding on controversies.

“Riding on controversies to get the numbers is not my style. I’d rather focus my energy on doing good music for the fans to enjoy. First of all, I am known as a musician and I want to be remembered for good music. I don’t see the need to reply or respond to issues that do not relate to my music career,” he stated.

According to King Promise, the reason for his popularity was his music, so he did not see the need to put his personal stuff out there or focus on any other thing that would distract him.

“Some musicians are okay putting their personal stuff out there, be controversial and still be successful musicians but not me. I just don’t want to be distracted from my aim of becoming that wonderful musician,” he said.

Asked if he believed he had arrived, King Promise who has songs such as Abena, Selfish, CCTV, Oh Yeah, Sisa, Odo, Bra, Tokyo among others said he had so much more to learn.

“There is so much to do and I will say I am just starting. I have a lot of collaborations to do and a lot of people to mentor. I want the world to hear of King Promise and I am gradually working towards that,” he stated.

King Promise also thanked his management team for signing him on and always giving him the right gigs.

“With the right management, making it to the top is quite easier and I must say my management team has been very helpful. The year 2022 is going to be a fantastic one for me because I have a lot to offer Ghanaians,” he said.
