To those looking up to me, remember I didn't make it in a year, so work hard — Stonebwoy

Stonebwoy, reggae-dancehall musician

One of Africa's biggest reggae-dancehall musicians, Livingstone Etse Satekla, better known in showbiz as Stonebwoy, has advised young musicians looking up to him to put in more serious work.

When asked how he started, the celebrated artist admitted that his path to fame was difficult.

Stonebwoy revealed in an interview that, though he still has a long way to go, things are going well for him right now, by God’s grace.

“I’m a hustler, and I still hustle. I’ve suffered and still suffer because of where I want to be. By God’s grace, things are better and more beautiful now.

“So, remember this, I did not make it within a year. I released my first song in the year 2006. That’s when I completed Senior high school,” Stonebwoy said.

The experienced singer states that unlike a decade ago when it was difficult for artists, particularly new artists, to get hit songs, songs now trend faster.

In a recent interview in Nigeria, he said, “with the advent of social media, it’s easy to get a hit song today than when we started. Some people started before us. And what you are doing now, someone has done it before. If you look up to me, know this, I started way back.”

The multi-award-winning Ghanaian musician again stated that the introduction of Tiktok and other platforms has made it very easy for a song to reach a larger audience and advised upcoming musicians to make better use of it.

He stated, “It’s been hard work, determination, and prayers. So don’t lose hope. Keep on and use any avenue you have like social media because in our time there was no such thing, our social media was being a hustler. Now social media is doing the magic, people listen to music via TikTok.”
