Let’s think digital, make more money – Krymi
Ghanaian afrobeat star, Henry Nuamah, known in showbiz circles as Krymi has advised his colleague musicians to change their mentality and think digital.
According to him, this would serve as an avenue to make more money in their musical career and also reach other international markets.
Speaking to The Spectator, he urged Ghanaian artistes to leverage more on the digital platforms and not only focus on making money through performances.
“We need to change the mentality of only making money from gigs but turn to the digital platforms to tap into the opportunities they provide,” he said.
According to him, to be an artiste, you need to be smart so that if you failed to make it through gigs, you switched to available platforms to make ends meet.
“There is the need to benefit economically from your talent, be able to reinvest in your craft for a better future,” he noted.
Talking about his plans for the year, he said every idea which was not executed in 2020 as a result of the challenges encountered would bear fruits in 2021.
Already, he has released Party Gbee, which is making a lot of waves in the country, and there are collaborations and singles which would be out within the year.
Krymi expressed his appreciation to everyone who has supported his new song, Party Gbee, and urged music lovers to continuously stream it on all musical platforms.

Ayisi teams up with Fameye for Highlife classic “Sika”
In a follow-up to his successful collaboration with Worlasi on “Everyday People,” Ayisi has once again partnered with prolific songwriter Fameye for a timeless highlife track titled “Sika,” which translates to “Money.”
This track is expected to make waves across Ghana and beyond, as it speaks to the universal pursuit of financial stability in a meaningful, melodious way.
Money, as Ayisi rightly points out, is a universal and never-ending topic of discussion. In “Sika,” both artists reflect on the role money plays in life and the lengths one must go to secure it.
Ayisi emphasizes a strong work ethic, noting that laziness will only lead to hunger and hardship. His message is clear: one must take action and pursue financial stability to navigate life successfully.
On the other hand, Fameye’s verse focuses on the idea of self-reliance when it comes to wealth. He highlights that becoming wealthy is something he must achieve on his own, without waiting for handouts or relying on others.
Fameye’s perspective complements Ayisi’s, creating a well-rounded narrative about ambition, responsibility, and financial independence.
“Sika,” produced by GroovyWrld, is deeply rooted in the classic highlife sound—a genre that has long been a cornerstone of Ghanaian music. The soulful melodies make it an instant classic that evokes a sense of nostalgia, while the contemporary twist keeps it fresh for today’s audience.
Ayisi, widely respected for his independent spirit and unique musical style, has typically preferred working alone, cultivating his own space in the industry. However, his recent collaborations signal a new chapter in his career, one that is more collaborative and expansive.
Through these collaborations, Ayisi is not only broadening his creative horizons but also offering his fans new and exciting musical experiences.
With “Sika,” Ayisi and Fameye remind us that while money may not be everything, the drive to earn and sustain oneself is essential to success.
