Stonebwoy, the award-winning dancehall artiste has disclosed in an interview with Berla Mundi how his hard work over the years has helped him as far as networking is concerned.
Stonebwoy had this to say “It didn’t take me two minutes, or I didn’t just fly to New York to get into that studio. I’ve been working over the past years, ready for opportunities, and when you’re prepared, when any opportunity comes, you’re overqualified. Continue to work while they are not watching, and by the time they turn an eye on you, you’ll be overqualified, and that’s how you get to wherever you’re going within a twinkle of an eye to some people, but they would not remember that you put in the work”
Stonebwoy would also add “Stonebwoy has been opening doors. Networking is expensive, and it’s not cheap no matter at what level it is. You have to put in the resources. Whatever the resource be, financial resources, however, you want to describe the resource, it’s expensive. The thing is again I want to bring the thing about the mindset. Naturally, where I come from, you’ll hear a thing like “)ye aho she sh3,” but you need to get out of that kind of mindset. It’s called networking; you need to connect to grow. These are simple nuggets we play with”
He would conclude by advising his industry colleagues to network in order to attract more opportunities and if they want to thrive, they would have to let go of the fear of being seen as bootlickers as has become so common in Ghanaian society. He also praised himself as someone who has been paving the way for other Ghanaian artists.
