“I know what I have represented is important to some music lovers because I have represented lyricism, doing something different but still good, not following trends but doing your own. I do a lot of thinking and sharpening of my lyrics since quality music is paramount to me” M.anifest explained.
The W’ani Aba hitmaker further explained though he is happy to make a mark in the industry, he is more happier that he has ideas and sustainable projects coming up that will benefit himself and the entire Ghanaian music industry especially the young and upcoming artists.
