IT’S been close to three years since he treated Ghanaians and the rest of the world to his hit song Sugarcane and one would think he is beating himself to deliver yet another banger. However, Camidoh reveals he is under no pressure at all to do so.
Camidoh, real name Raphael Camidoh Kofi Attachie, expressed confidence in his ability to consistently create great music and not put himself under unnecessary pressure.
In a chat with Graphic Showbiz on Tuesday, October 24, 2024, he emphasised his focus is on producing authentic, high-quality songs that resonate with his audience, instead of comparing his new works to past successes.
"No, I've never really been under pressure to make another song like Sugarcane. I believe I've been blessed with an amazing talent and I make amazing music. So, there's no point in likening Sugarcane to any of my works.
“I believe that at the right time, my records will get the necessary attention because they are all very beautiful songs. If I were struggling to make music, then I believe I would be feeling that way. What God has blessed me with is a gift so, I'm not being forced to cook another Sugarcane. Not at all," he stated.
Touching on some of the challenges of the music industry, Camidoh expressed the need for clear communication on the worth of artistes and their contributions. He argued that when people understand the significance of an artiste, a song or the act of making music, they are more likely to show respect and appreciation.
“I think our industry needs to be heavy on value communication because I believe when people appreciate and understand the value an artiste or song or the act of making music carries, they will celebrate and cherish it more,” he said.
Camidoh is currently promoting a remix of his single, NLF (Nothing Last Forever) featuring Coded of 4x4 fame while also working on new singles and other projects.
Highlighting the essence of collaboration, he believes it is a gateway for expansion. “By working together, artistes share ideas that encourage growth, which also helps the entire industry to improve.
We should really hammer more on that. I have a joint project with Qwamina MP. It is a single titled Before You Go. I also feature on S3fa’s new song, All Over. I have also done a few collaborations here and there, which will be coming out soon. So, I would urge all my fans to watch out and support these songs as well,” he added.
