Ghanaian dancehall superstar, Shatta Wale has revealed that his rise to musical stardom was built on years of hard work and self-learning in Ghana, not from traveling abroad.Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on Wednesday, March 11, monitored by entertainment journalist Joseph Owusu Worae, Shatta Wale dismissed claims that he traveled to Jamaica during his early career to learn dancehall music.“I didn’t travel to Jamaica in my struggling days to learn dancehall. I was in the room for seven years learning music production and working hard to blow,” he statedHe explained that going “off the scene” for nearly a decade was part of a deliberate plan to hone his skills in music production, beat-making, and understanding the workings of the music industry.Contrary to popular belief, Shatta Wale emphasized that he spent all that time in Ghana, meticulously studying music and planning his career moves.“I took time to learn music production and carefully study the music industry and see how to maneuver. So I was still in Ghana,” he added.When asked about the origin of the
Jamaica narrative, the dancehall star said, “Yeah, you know, what I was learning was so fast that people thought that I traveled elsewhere to learn.”Shatta Wale also detailed how his training was largely self-taught, relying heavily on online resources. “I was in a small room. I learned the beats all by myself, on my own, on the internet. Anytime I didn’t understand anything about music production, I went online to study. I learnt everything on my own with the help of the internet,” he said.The revelation sheds light on the discipline, patience, and determination that shaped Shatta Wale’s journey, highlighting that his success was the result of years of dedicated hard work behind closed doors.
