Ghanaian Alte singer Ayisi has made it clear that he prioritizes authenticity over meeting public expectations when it comes to his music.
Speaking on Talkertainment with GhanaWeb’s Elsie Lamar, the singer explained that he does not feel pressured to recreate the success of his popular song Grind, which won the hearts of many music lovers and gained significant airplay.
Ayisi stressed that although Grind became a hit, it was never his intention to build his career around a particular sound. “So, pressure? No. I don’t want to pigeonhole myself into, like, ‘This is what people expect of me, so that’s what I’m going to do throughout my career,’” he said.
He noted that constantly chasing trends or trying to please fans can limit an artist’s growth and creativity. “You become a one-trick pony. And even the people who think they want songs like that from me are the same ones who will later say, ‘Okay, let’s do something else,’” he added.
According to Ayisi, he is more interested in making good music that reflects his artistic identity rather than focusing on repeating a particular formula just to maintain popularity. “So I try to stay out of that box of people expecting me to do this or that. I just did me,” he explained.
Despite his relaxed approach, Ayisi continues to receive recognition for his work. He has earned three nominations for the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards, including Best Songwriter of the Year, Best Male Vocal Performance, and Record of the Year.
