People wanted me to become a soldier because of my height – Sefa

Ghanaian songstress Sefa has revealed that before fully pursuing music, some people advised her to consider a career in the military instead.

Speaking in an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM on February 24, 2026, the singer was asked if she faced any setbacks when she started out in music.

“A couple of people were telling me that I should become a soldier because of my height,” she disclosed.

Despite the suggestions, Sefa said she remained focused on her passion for music, insisting that she was determined to chase her dream regardless of other opinions.

“I told them that this is my passion. It’s nice to follow your passion. It’s my dream. People on the outside will not understand what I am seeing,” she explained.

The singer also reflected on her journey after signing to her record label, stating that her primary goal was not to compete with her label mates but to build a strong personal brand.

“When I joined the label, I was just like, ‘I’m going to work hard and make sure my name becomes a household name.’ I wasn’t thinking about doing better than my label mates. I just wanted to work hard and make sure whatever I’m putting out, people listen to it,” she said.

Now, Sefa says she is grateful for how far she has come.

“So, now I can say we are a household name and I’m grateful to God and the label,” she added, noting that those who once doubted her vision are gradually seeing the results of her persistence.
