Ghana Music.com: Take me back - How did it really all begin for FLEXY?

Flexy: Well as you know, remember when we were going to church and singing? Ok. So that has developed. I have seen a singer since the first day I was born.   Musically, I have followed music for a while but I actively started making music in 2001 when I recorded some gospel tunes.  However, I was affiliated to hip-life and that pushed me to have love for the art.  In 2005, I came to Ghana to record my debut album “Odehyea”. Double Dee put me on the music map with “Ghana Mmaa”. The lasts scope on Double Dee is that Big O. J. is currently focused on video directing and actually shot my first ever music video.  Odeifoo Daniel has also finished a solid album which will be soon due for market.

Mann.  Also Kojo Antwi, Dasebre and Nana Quame are people I learn from.  In terms of my hiplife career, Okyeame Quame has been my mentor for all these years. K. K. Fosu and Samini are people who always advices me to push up.

My style incorporates all styles of music from hi-life, hip-life, folk songs, dancehall, reggae, soca, R&B and hip-hop and on my new album you are going to hear blues and techno beats on there. I’m not saying that no one is doing what I do but I’m a versatile artist and I do all sorts of music. 

Ghana Music.com: What does fashion mean to you?

Flexy: To me, fashion speaks a lot about an artist. Whether Okomfoo Kwaadee or Veeda, every artist has to be in tune with fashion.  People who saw my shows in Ghana know that I take fashion serious; let me open one light to you, whenever the Bible talks about Lucifer, we are made to understand he was always dressed in precious jewels. That is a way of standing out in the crowd. That is why if you have noticed almost every artist want to shine with blings and outrageous cloths so Godson Flexy also takes his fashion serious.

Ghana Music.com: What will be the key to your success?

Flexy: The key to my success will be perseverance and hard work, because in this industry if you are not persistence and consistence, you can’t make it.  So it all boils down to hard work and prayers.

Ghana Music.com: To date what has been your personal greatest hiplife moment?

Flexy: I actually have 2 personal greatest moments. My first time touring with Lumba, Dr. Poh, Nana Quame, Bollie and Akatakyie. And the most important is the first day I performed a long side V. I. P in Toronto, Canada that really brought the best out of me and prepared me for the challenge.

Ghana Music.com: Are you happy with the current state of hiplife music?

Flexy: With the current state, I can’t really complain even though the style of rap and hip-life has changed.  It has created a new avenue for the people in the game to try something new. Before Akyeame came out with “Ma Sanba, if you were not a rapper, you were not counted, but now with the new style, we turn to see that the singing has really increased in our rap songs. So it’s pretty much ok. Also I like to tell my fellow musicians to keep trying something new because “Jacket” by Praye has really done a good job and even this guy called Asem.  He’s really making other cultures patronize the hiplife music.  Kwaw Kesse has always stood out because he tried something new.

Ghana Music.com: How do you want to be remembered in history once you retire?

Flexy: Don’t know about retirement because I am music, breath music, and eat music, however when my hit days are over, I want to be remembered as a loyal servant of the game, who made quality songs and paid respect to those who deserve.

Ghana Music.com: Any parting words?

Flexy: I want to thank God for the gift and how far he is taking me.  I also want to thank Dr. Motox for believing in me, Morris B Face, Jay Q, Dr. Poh, K. K. Fosu, Okyeame Quame, Shaolin my bro for life (they can’t stop us), Stone, Kunta Kinte, Big O.J and all the people that sweat to get my music out there. Finally, to all my childhood friends and my fans all around the world.
