Popular Ghanaian artiste Mr. Drew has urged up-and-coming musicians to prioritize their stage performance skills.
According to him, many artistes struggle to captivate audiences despite having good songs.
Speaking in an interview with MX24 TV, the ‘Case’ hitmaker noted that while some musicians produce great music, their inability to engage audiences during live performances remains a major issue.
“I think it’s something most people need to learn, especially upcoming artistes. A lot of them don’t know how to perform, and it’s a problem. They might have very good songs, but when you watch them perform, it’s like…,” he said.
Reflecting on his own career, Mr. Drew attributed his longevity and success to his consistent stage presence and ability to entertain crowds.
“That’s what keeps you up there with performances. I think that’s what has kept me relevant. I started with people in the same league.
“Our songs had the same impact, but today, things are different. For me, it’s God first, and then my performances because people know that if you book Mr. Drew, he has the bangers and will entertain your crowd,” he explained.
The artiste advised young musicians to pay close attention to their stagecraft, emphasizing that a strong stage presence can elevate an artiste’s career and set them apart in the competitive music industry.
“Performance is something artistes need to take seriously,” he stated.
