Ghanaian singer and songwriter Jane Afia Awindor, popularly known as Efya, has opened up on the critical role her mother, Nana Adwoa Awindor, has played in her music career.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Romeo on May 7, 2025, Efya disclosed that her mother has been her biggest support system from the very beginning of her journey in the music industry and continues to play that role to this day.
“Definitely my mum. I’m very grateful for her, she’s been a strong support system. She’s guided me through the business to make sure I’m well established. She’s very knowledgeable about everything we’re dealing with because this is also a business for us. I’m really glad I involved her in it,” Efya said.
She praised her mother not only for her emotional support but also for her hands-on guidance in the business side of music, noting that her mother’s experience and insight have been valuable.
When asked whether other colleagues in the industry have also supported her, the ‘Best in Me’ hitmaker said, “Everybody has been supportive, I can’t nail it down for every time I’ve invited any artiste to come support me at the show, the people that show up for me and I’m very grateful. I’m supportive myself so it’s just the same way that I’ve been supportive to them, they are always supportive to me.
She continued, “I’m one of the artiste that a lot of people come through for and for that alone, I’m grateful for. I know that everybody is busy, everybody has their own lives they’re living aside the music, so when people make time for you, I just be grateful. I make sure that I let them know I’m grateful and also make sure I support them.”
