Wendy Shay, the Ghanaian songstress, has challenged the commonly held belief that an artist’s success is primarily determined by their ability to fill large venues and win Grammy Awards.
In a tweet that reverberated throughout the music industry, she raised questions about why filling prestigious venues such as the O2 Arena and securing Grammy Awards have become the exclusive yardsticks for measuring an artist’s accomplishments.
By drawing comparisons with internationally acclaimed artists like Bob Marley and 2Pac, who achieved iconic status without winning a Grammy, 27-year-old Wendy Shay urged Ghanaians to reconsider their definitions of success in the music industry.
“Why is filling 02 and winning Grammy become the standard to measure the success of an Artist? Bob Marley and 2Pac are successful musicians but never won a Grammy. Let Ghanaian musicians breathe ! Ghana wake up!” she tweeted.
