Awards Do Not Measure My Success – Fuse ODG
Afro-pop artist, Fuse ODG has disclosed that awards do not measure his success.
The Ghanaian -UK based artist is doing quite well with his career in music. However he hasn’t won many awards both in Ghana and internationally.
Reacting to this, Fuse ODG said that he doesn’t use awards as a benchmark as an artist.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz Fm’s Daybreak Hitz, the ‘antenna’ crooner said that he does
not see winning awards as a yardstick to being a successful musician but what is pivotal to
him is how his music reach out to people and change lives.
“An award does not measure my success; is not something I use as a benchmark as an artist. The number of people I can reach with my music, the lives I have changed. That to me is a success. Other artists have different preferences ..” he told Andy Dosty.
Speaking of awards, Fuse ODG happens to be the only Ghanaian who has won a Grammy Award.
