Using Ga is about authenticity and connection- Perez Musik

Award-winning artiste Perez Musik opened up about his unique approach to songwriting and the prominent role the Ga language plays in his music in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM.

“I find it essential to use Ga because it’s a part of who I am,” Perez shared. “While my popular tracks are primarily in Ga, I also sprinkle in English. This blend helps me reach a wider audience while staying true to my roots.”

Andy Dosty, known for his insightful questions, raised a pertinent point: “Given that Twi is the most widely spoken language in Ghana, do fans express concerns about your use of Ga? Is it a barrier for them?”

Perez paused thoughtfully before responding. “I have created songs in Twi, but I was discouraged by some feedback about my strong Ga accent in those tracks. So, I decided to focus more on Ga because I can convey my message better in my native language,” he explained, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in his work.

The conversation took a deeper turn when Andy Dosty asked if Perez consulted with individuals proficient in Twi before releasing his songs. “I’d say my songwriting skills in Twi are strong,” Perez replied confidently.

“The real challenge for me is how I deliver those lyrics vocally. Luckily, my entire team speaks Akan, which helps me with the proper syntax and grammar. They ensure that the lyrics are correct, so I can focus on my performance.”

While he acknowledges the popularity of Twi, he remains devoted to expressing himself in a way that feels genuine to him.

“I want my fans to feel my passion and my story,” he added, his voice filled with conviction. “Using Ga allows me to do that. It’s about creating a genuine connection.”
