Gasmilla Says He Doesn’t Rush Into Making Hit Songs

In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Ghana’s music sensation, Odartei Milla Lamptey, widely known as Gasmilla, has firmly expressed that his primary focus is not the pursuit of hit songs. Despite his reputation for crafting infectious rhythms and catchy tunes, the “Telemo” hitmaker is resolute in his commitment to avoiding the pressure of releasing quick hits. He has made it clear that he won’t succumb to the wishes and demands of others for immediate song releases.

Gasmilla’s approach to music is characterized by patience and careful craftsmanship. He stressed that he takes his time with each piece, with the ultimate goal of creating music that will stand the test of time and be cherished by generations. He emphasized that his main objective extends far beyond mere hit-making; he aspires to create songs that future generations will hold dear with pride.

Affectionately known as the “International Fisherman,” Gasmilla also issued a stern caution to music enthusiasts and industry players against the practice of pigeonholing artists into specific music genres or styles. He believes that true creativity flourishes when musicians are free to explore and adapt to various music genres, rather than being confined to a particular category.

“I don’t think people should confine artists to a single style of music. Such categorization stifles creativity. I, for instance, possess the skills to venture into other musical territories and put my artistic prowess to the test,” Gasmilla remarked. He firmly believes that restricting artists to a single style hampers their creative potential, and he calls for an end to this limiting practice.

Gasmilla’s commitment to patient, timeless music creation and his call for artistic freedom in exploring diverse genres have become key elements of his musical philosophy, demonstrating his dedication to creating enduring musical legacies.
