She delivers on almost any stage she mounts and singer Wiyaala proudly says she has no competitor when it comes to stage performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no contender in Ghana and most people who have had the opportunity to watch my performances can attest to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy energy comes from the rehearsals I do on daily basis,\u201d she told Showbiz in an interview after her performance at Okyeame Kwame\u2019s \u201cMusic and Wheels\u201d show held at +233 Grill and Bar last Friday.<\/p>\n
According to the Rock Ma Body hitmaker, it is the internationally-acclaimed musicians she wants to compete with and not her colleagues in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Asked whether she could compete with the likes of Rihanna and Beyonc\u00e9, the winner of last year\u2019s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Best Female Vocal Artiste of the Year, said not even Rihanna and Beyonc\u00e9 can match up her energy and craft on stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not blowing my own horn but trust me, I have watched performances by Rihanna and Beyonc\u00e9 and I believe I can do better than them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey just have big platforms. I know when I also get a big platform like theirs, I can do much better than them,\u201d she said confidently.<\/p>\n
Talking about her performances, Wiyaala, who has performed at events such as Fashion Icon Awards, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, African Fashion Show and Rocky Dawuni’s Homecoming Concert, said she is always on top of her game because she rehearses almost everyday.<\/p>\n
She explained that she was best at what she does because she always left her fans screaming for more anytime she was done with her performances.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen people spend their hard-earned money to attend a show, I need to put up my best and I believe that has also kept me going. I don\u2019t want a situation where people will regret attending a show after my performance,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Known for songs such as Leno, Make Me Dance, Go Go Black Stars, Tinambanyi, Peace, Africa, Siiko, Bunsun and You Got The Power, Wiyaala told her fans to watch out for great music from her this year.<\/p>\n
Born Noella Wiyaala in the Upper West regional capital, Wa, but raised in Tumu, she attended Takoradi Polytechnic where she studied Art and Design.<\/p>\n
She first came to public attention in 2011 when she won two Golden Moments awards at TV reality show, Stars of the Future.<\/p>\n
The following year, she won the Vodafone Icons Mixed Edition contest, singing Tina Turna\u2019s hit song, Simply the Best, as a member of the Black N Peach band.<\/p>\n
Wiyaala, a brand ambassador for Pepsi in West Africa, alongside Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage, left Black N Peach band in April 2013 to pursue a solo career with Djimba World Records.<\/p>\n
