Telemo' hitmaker, Gasmilla, has said he is happy to be enjoying
hisrecent fame; especially when he had a tough time breaking into the
Ghanaian music scene.
The 'International fisherman' as he calls himself has become oneof the
most celebrated musicians in 2015.
In an interview with Morning Starr host KafuiDey on Starr 103.5FM on
Thursday, the singer said the streets 'made him'; since it was the
only place he could promote his music.
"It's been hard. Especially because I came through the back door not
the front door.The front door was busy! You have to queue and there
are killers out there chaley!" he said.
According to him, "The back door was using the streets." He said he
sometimes had to impersonate a manager to get people to listen to his
tracks."I started with street promotion. 'Abodan Tui' was a song that
made it huge on the street. Radio didn't play it, TV didn't show it
and I mean I pushed it so hard on the street that radio and TV didn't
have a choice. It was me going from one joint or the other promoting
my song."
