Award-winning songstress, Adina Thembi Ndamse has said that she actually does not mind

getting married to a poor man.

She was however quick to add that she will do that, if “the guy is a serious and focused person”.

The ‘Makoma’ hitmaker, in an interview with TV3 mentioning what she looks for in a man said,

“Somebody who understands what I do because I’m a musician and I love the craft, if he is broke and he has a dream or he is making a move about his future or he is on his way up there.” she observed.

Adina is a Ghanaian singer and performer who has songs like, Too Late, Makoma, Killing

Me Softly, On My Way among others to her credit.

Awards-winning Adina Thembi has described Afro dancehall artiste Stonebwoy, as

a music ‘god’.

Adina has in the last few months collaborated with many male artistes including Sarkodie,

Kuami Eugene, Flowking Stone, K.K Fosu and Teephlow.

Though her verses on most of these collaborations are appreciated by many, Adina says

collaborations cannot be touted as her strength.

In this conversation with JoyNews’ MzGee, she argued that she has also done well as a solo

artiste.

At the BF Suma concert, she revealed to MzGee, she was hopeful of a collaboration with

her male counterpart, Stonebwoy, who she describes as a great vocalist.

“I would love to do a song with Stonebwoy. That guy is a music god. He is amazing,

I don’t think he puts himself in a box even though he says he does dancehall, he is a vocalist and that’s what I appreciate about his craft,” she said.

“We have actually spoken already so it is just really a matter of time and I am starting work on my album so you never know, he might just be one of the people on [it],” the talented singer added.

Award-winning songstress, Adina Thembi Ndamse, best known as Adina has revealed that she has never personally penned down any of her songs.

According to the Ghanaian-South African musician, virtually all of her songs have been written by different songwriters or musicians.

She disclosed that her recent hit song “killing me softly”, was written by Kuami Eugene whilst Kidi wrote her “Makoma” hit song.

Other artistes who have written songs for her include E.L, King Promise who wrote her song “too late” which has won her two awards.

Adina was speaking to DJ Candy Man on Atinka FM’s “Akwaaba Show” last Saturday.

“For now, I don’t write my songs…in the future I will start writing my own songs…but for now, I leave it for the people who know how to write songs to do the writing” she said.

Even though she’s made this revelation, one cannot dispute the fact that her voice does a lot of “writing” in the ears of a lot of music lovers.

Away from writing songs, she also disclosed that there are a lot of artistes that she would like to collaborate with.

Chief among her tall list is the dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy and she said that a lot of plans and discussions are underway to get her to work with the BET Awards winner.

Adina also revealed that she would be launching a clothing line dubbed, “Thembi Republic” hopefully before the year ends.

Ghanaian songstress, Adina, says she was surprised to have won the Best Female Vocalist Award at the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).

According to her, she was surprised not because she thinks she didn’t deserve it but because of the names she contested with.

Speaking to Kojo Akoto Boateng on Citi TV’s ‘Saturday Live’ show on Saturday, she said she that all her contenders were equally hardworking.

The ‘Makoma’ hitmaker also added that even though she won the same award last year, she wasn’t expecting another win. Hence, to her picking the award for the second time in succession is a great honor for her.

“I was surprised when I won the female vocalist award, not because I didn’t think I deserved it but because of the names of the list,” she disclosed.

“Last year, I also won the same award. So last year was like ‘Oh my goodness, really?’. But this year it was like ‘ok, all the people on the list were also working hard, I saw them…so it was encouraging to be picked among the lot on the list,” she added.

When asked if the award put any pressure on her, she noted that it motivates her to do better.

“I feel like I have a responsibility not to let vocalists in Ghana down, but I am working on it to make sure I become a better version of myself any time,” she noted.

Other artists who were nominated in the Best Female Vocalist of the Year category in the 2018 VGMA were Nana Yaa, Efya, Mzvee and Becca.

Adina made this revelation when she joined highlife artiste Rex Omar, budding act QueiQu Aphro and the Characters Band for the first episode of Season 4 of Citi TV’s live band show, ‘Saturday Live.’
