Yaa Jackson says that awards do not define her, but her fans are all she needs.
The Ghanaian star had an open interview where she revealed how she has managed to get peace beyond having to win awards.
To Yaa, the best success is to reach out to people who love her music and acting and not trophies.
She said, “Awards are cool, but I am not running after awards.” I am driven by my fans. That is the actual score.”
She admitted that it was not that easy to break into collaborations but she takes pride in how far she has gone.
Yaa also valued the assistance of Shatta Wale on her new song Moses, as she considered it as a boost.
Although most people recognize her as an actress, Yaa now refers to music as her primary creative channel.
Nevertheless, she is not done with acting. She said, “I tell stories whether I want to or not, but music allows me to speak with my soul.”
Yaa is making the statement and she is addressing the award-centered industry and reminding other artists to seek meaning in passion- not pressure.
Yaa Jackson is making her path her way, both in the studio and on screen, and it is a path that she is not stopping anytime soon.
