Ghanaian Hiplife Musician Barima Sidney says sometimes he feels sad
when people tag him as a member of a particular political party.
"Sometimes it's sad when they tag me, but I've realised is a strategy
they use just to frustrate you on the course that you're championing,
since i realised it's a strategy, it doesn't border me anymore."
He emphasised that he's focus and will continue to reach his goals.
"So far as it goes against the government of the day, they will tag
you as being in-bed with the other party but all i do is to focus and
work for mother Ghana. Ask yourself is the course your championing
worth fighting for? If you do then some of this things will come on
your way."
Sidney in an interview with Freda Owusuaa-Bio on J.life FM's working
rythems (Midmorning show) disclosed that the motivations behind his
political songs is the truth.
"Basically the motivation behind my songs is the truth, But they are
hurt to hear the truth, I look at things going on in the society and
then package them in my songs."
Asked weather he will accept contract in composing songs for any
political party, Barima Sidney said, "why not? as a musician, I will
take their lyrics and package a song for them being political parties
or an advertising songs for companies. if a political party wants me
to do a song for them, I do not want my image to be affiliated to that
political party, if not that I can compose a song exactly according to
the lyrics they will give me but at the end of the day, I don't want
to sing it myself, there are so many people I can package for them to
sing. But if I have to sing as Barima Sidney, it depends and I don't
recall the last time I did such a thing."
Barima Sidney planning to venture into active politics someday?
"Well to tell the truth, we are all politicians because day-in and
day-out the decisions that we take at our various homes and workplaces
are all politics, but to venture into partisan politics, the answer is
NO.
