After ending 2016 strong with her hit, ‘Hwe’, Becca kicked off 2017 a full swing with hit songs like ‘Na Wash’, ‘Beshiwo’ and more. Her latest single, ‘You & I’ made it to Number 1 on the SoundCity African Chart last week. In addition to all this she is expecting to release a new album, ‘Unveiling’ next month and have a 10th anniversary concert this year as well…phew!
Becca’s ten years in the music business has been marked with highs and lows, rumours and well, more rumours!!! While we can each remember her for various highlights, I put her in a tight spot to give me her Top 10 highlights from her decade-old career; which started with making it to TV3 Mentor final selection and pulling out…
Here are her Top 10 picks
1. Getting on stage for the first time …LOL!!! It was Miss Ghana 2007 and it was great. I can never forget that.
2. ‘You Lied To Me’ – In the 10 years I will say hearing my music on radio for the first time was crazy.
3. When I was appointed as a UNAIDs ambassador. I love any opportunity to be ability to touch the lives of people.
