Singer Wendy Shay has revealed she arrived in Ghana from Germany with only €50 in her pocket to pursue her music career.
Sharing her story ahead of her new album release the singer said she had to choose between her career as a nurse and her love for music.
Wendy Shay explained that she was happy when Bullet accepted to work with her, thus, she purchased her ticket to Ghana.
"With the blessings from my mum, I packed and moved to Ghana...I met Bullet, signed a contract and started recording songs. I was introduced to Ghanaians at VGMA 2018," she said.
The Uber Driver singer opened up on the hate messages she received after she was introduced at the VGMAs.
She said she was threatened on numerous occasions.
"Five months later, I released an album Shay on You and I won 13 awards with five hit songs, she narrated in the short documentary."
"And now I am here to present to you my second album, Shayning Star… I see myself as the rose that grew from the concrete… the cornerstone that the builders rejected… World, Ghana. Shay Gang, I present to you the Shayning Star," she said.
