Newly crowned Artiste of the Year at the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), King Promise, has stated that he doesn’t make music just to follow trends or get hit songs.
According to him, he stays true to his sound and focuses on making music that feels real.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM, the Perfect Combi hitmaker shared how special the moment was for him after winning Artiste of the Year.
“I like this feeling. It’s not even about validation, it’s also about, like I said, your people recognising you and crowning you. I feel that moment is something special, and I would have shot myself in the foot if I didn’t push further,” King Promise said.
When asked what makes him different from others in the industry, he said it’s his focus on authenticity rather than chasing hit songs or trends.
“What sets me apart is just being myself. Just making music that I love. I don’t go to the studio thinking, ‘I have to make a hit today.’ I don’t follow trends,” he stated.
He added that even though he enjoys the creative process, he is very intentional with the kind of music he puts out.
“I just go to the studio to make music that feels real. I try to enjoy what I do, but I’m also very intentional with it. There’s a direction to everything I do, and I think that direction is what sets me apart,” he explained.
