Part 2 of the interview with Becca
Check out Part 1 here

Museke: What challenges do you face in the Ghanaian music industry?
Becca: When you get into the industry, what you need to know is that many people are watching you. You should be very vigilant, because you are considered a role model. The positive side is you get inspiration, people praise u, they like the work you do, you r encouraged, and you get the opportunities to do things
Because people are watching you, it gets really hard for you to do things that you wanna do. You should be careful. People will be talking about various things and spreadin rumours. It comes like that. The negative things and downfalls, they encourage me to work harder. There are always gonna be haters, they are like critics, they inspire you to work harder. I take criticism in a positive way.
You must find the right people and you’ll be okay.
For piracy, selling CDs is a bit hard. It is left for singers to come together and educate ourselves. We need to know how to deal with these things.

This interview was done on March 11, 2008 at the house of Kwame Yeboah, a producer. It was set up by Kiki Banson of EKB Records.

Museke: Can you tell us about your background, family and education?
Becca: I was born on 15th August 1984 in Kumasi (Oseikrom). I am the 5th born in a family of 9 children.
I attended Golden age nursery, and then Morning star school in Accra till the end of Junior Secondary School. I then went to Alywin high in London. I came back to Ghana to join Wesley Girls High School and was among the graduating class of 2003. I proceeded to Croydon college, and came back to Ghana in 2006. I studied child care education.

Museke: How did you get into music and what was your first break?
Becca: I’ve always been singing. I did talent shows in schools, and sang in the church choir.
As for my big break, I met my producer, Kiki Banson of EKB records at a show. The show was being hosted by Reggie, I had gone there and I was talking to him (I am a friend of Reggie’s). Kiki met me and invited me to come and try singing in the studio. The first couple of days I didn’t go but went there on the 3rd day. That day we recorded ‘U lied to me’.

On Tuesday 11th March, I had the opportunity of interviewing Becca. The interview would be transcribed for y’all Museke.com fans soon but while waiting for the interview to start, I hanged around her producer, Kiki Banson. Below is some of the info I picked from him and a conversation he was having with some friends. Real talk, son.

Kiki Banson’s background is in music. He has produced Hugh Masekela, Genevieve Nnaji (No more album), among others. Becca is his first Ghanaian artiste. Becca’s album was released for a month in late 2006 and then actual promotion started in August 2007.
