Ghanaian singer and rapper, Black Sherif says that he would have been a spare parts dealer if he could not make it through music.
“I would have been a spare parts dealer if my music career didn’t succeed,” he told Naa Ashorkor on Asaase Radio’s show on Tuesday (5 April)
Sherif said he regrets not discovering his talent early, describing it as “my biggest mistake.”
“I regret not writing music early,” he said.
Kwaku the Traveller, as he is known by his fans, said his style of music is inspired by songs he heard growing up – a mixture of highlife and reggae.
“My style of music is inspired by things I used to hear growing up, my mom used to listen to highlife and my dad reggae.”
“I like to be involved in everything including making the beats for my songs, I’m hands-on when it comes to everything. I record a lot so I’m always contemplating what to release at the right time.”
Advising upcoming acts, Black Sherif said: “I don’t believe in copying others, I always support staying true to oneself. I never try to be like anyone. All my life I always try to be the best me, because I believe there is more to explore in me.”
