Stonebwoy says he is ready and willing to do joints with Tamale artistes, he said “There are very talented artistes in the North. Fancy Gadam is one of the big rising acts in Tamale now and there are other good ones too. You know what I’m gonna do? It’s is good to do single, single songs with respective artistes, but this is what I’m gonna do. I have a plan of doing a record feature 2, 3 or more artistes on one record. It’s going to be one solid song with everybody throwing in their best on it, and that’s what I will do”, Stonebwoy explained.
The 2016 Northern Music Awards (NMA) Artiste of the Year, Fancy Gadam has set a new record in Ghana as the first Tamale based artist to hit 50,000 views on Youtube in less than nine months.
His video titled “Concrete” which is purely sang in his native
Dagbani language was shot and directed by Eddie Kumako and currently has 50,466 views on Youtube since its
release on January 7, 2016.
The song has also enjoyed massive airplay on local
and national television and radio stations.
No music video
from a Tamale based artist has hit that viewership mark on Youtube.
The only artist
from the area to march his success is Accra based Dagbani singer, Sherifatu
Gunu who under Akwaaba Music released Yumiataba on Youtube and got over 70,000
views in seven years.
Even though several songs she has featured on have
crossed over 100,000 views on Youtube, such successes cannot be said to be her
achievements because she doesn’t own the songs.
The Tamale
showbiz darling boy has always maintained that he together with his colleague
artists in Tamale are ready to take “northern music” to the world and will do
everything possible achieve that.
Meanwhile, Stonebwoy is set to release a new single titled “Problem” this September, together with an official video he shot in Australia while on tour.
