“I feel excited, I’m happy to be on the same label with them (referring to VIP and 4X4).
You know when they are on stage, you see the energy, the power, so I’m happy and it feels good” , this is what Sala said when GhanaCelebrities.com asked her how she feels like being on the same label with heavy weights and crowd pullers like VIP and 4X4.
This, she said at an interactive ceremony organized by Paradise Entertainment to officially introduce her to the press at the Boomerang Night Club in Accra.
Answering questions from the various media houses, Sala, the newest edition to the Paradise Entertainment family, the same label that houses the likes of award winning artistes; the legends Vision In Progress (VIP), the international superstars 4X4, Mimi Divalish, Ghana female rapper Tiffany and Omanhene Quata said she was happy to be on the label though she won’t disclose how many years she penned down to be with the label.
Her manager Mr. Duke Banson who doubles as the CEO of Boomerang Night Club beaming with smiles said Sala is a 100% Paradise Entertainment product. This means, she wasn’t signed from other label but they (Paradise Entertainment) discovered her and seeing the talent in her, they decided to sign her.
Also, one thing which tickled his fantasy to sign her was the fact that, in a conversation with her about where she wants to be in 5 years musically. She stated that, she wants her name to be a brand known by everyone.
Sala currently has two music videos ‘Fakye Me’ and ‘Falling’ which are getting rotations on TV. Her first video ‘Fakye Me’, like a girl in love, Sala seems to have an addiction for her man and will do whatever in order to please him after offending him.
The constant repetition of ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘forgive me’ is what makes this song an apology song. It’s more of a love cum apology song.
‘Falling’, her second video on the ‘Just The Beginning’ album is another love song. To my understanding, this song talks about Sala in love with someone who seems not to have realized any of her “in love” gestures.
She dreams of falling anytime she lays her eyes on her prey (man). She asked what else she must do for her man to realize she loves him.
Sala was born Salamatu Yakubu. She grew up in Accra, where she had her basic education. Aside singing, Sala is also a model, a songwriter and an aspiring actress.
She first had her talents acknowledged while she was studying in Europe majoring in Arts.
The date for the launching of the ‘Just The Beginning’ album will be announced later. Meanwhile you can purchase Sala’s songs on iTunes.
Also, Sala said she will be doing some charity projects when she settles on which direction she wants to go.
