SHE was a backup vocalist to various musicians within the industry
Daddy Lumba is one of the Ghanaian musicians who has shown appreciation to singer Yvonne Ohene-Djan, popularly known as SHE, by returning to give her extra payment after songs she worked on as a backing vocalist turned into hits.
According to her, although she often charged less at the start, some artistes, including Daddy Lumba, later came back with more money when the success of the song proved her contribution was greater than what she was initially paid for.

In an interview on Angel FM, SHE explained that being a backing vocalist is not always rewarding at first, because the fee charged before a song’s release usually feels inadequate once the song becomes a hit.
“I believe that every song that becomes a hit makes you realize that the fee you charged was too low, but by that point, the payment has already been made. For some people, once their song becomes a hit, they return to give me a little something extra in addition to the initial payment. Artists like Daddy Lumba, Ofori Amponsah, and Kwabena Kwabena are among those who have come back to give me a little more after their songs became hit songs,” SHE stated.
She was behind Daddy Lumba’s hit songs such as ‘Asieho,’ ‘Ayehuhuuhu,’ and ‘Nana Ye Winner.’ She also lent her vocals to Bradez’s ‘One Gallon,’ Mzbel’s ‘16 Years,’ Becca’s ‘Daa Ke Daa,’ and Obour’s ‘Konkontiba.’
