Ghanaian hip-life queen Eazzy has advised her colleagues to make sure they invest what they make from their music in stocks and worthy business ventures so as to secure their future.
The ‘Emergency’ star believes although music can be very rewarding, especially for talented artistes like her, it is important to realise that life can be pretty unpredictable hence the need to prepare for rainy days.
“As much as we love music I am not very sure that it can be the only business that you can put up your sleeves," Eassy told Starr Drive host Bola Ray.
“I have been putting a lot of things in place, trying to handle different business aside the music,” she said.
Mildred Ashong, her real name, now owns a salon, a boutique and will soon open a cosmetic shop as well.
The singer-turned-entrepreneur said investments also bring a sense of fulfillment to the individual, something she is confident her colleagues will appreciate.
“You don’t have to own shops, you can also buy shares in companies or whatever else that can bring some financial stability… just invest your money.”
When asked if music made it possible for her to finance her new ventures, Eazzy said it helped a great deal.
She added: “I would say so. If you handle your finances reasonably, music can be a huge source. I’m not that outgoing. I don’t go out all the time so I get to save a lot. I can say 50% from the music and the other 50% from my own hustle.”
