Former Aids Ambassador and actress Joyce Dzidzor is gearing up for the release of her latest single Tatata featuring Ivorian Legendary musician Freddy Meiway.
Scheduled for release on April 10 the song recorded by King Dee, mixed by Donguy and mastered by Franz talks about a broken heart and how to come out of it.
Speaking in an interview with Joyce she said Freddy will not just jump on any song if he is not okay with it “How many musicians have been able to feature him on a song? It was not easy getting him on the song but finally we did and I am so grateful for that.
Asked why she went in for Meiway she said she has so much respect for him and even got a tattoo of him at her back said that her latest tattoo at her back. “Meiway songs helped me come out from depression.
His music was a therapy for me when I was going through severe depression in 2019 in Hamburg and I tattooed him on my back to celebrate his achievements as an artiste for the past 35 years” she said Asked about her next project and collaboration with other Ghanaian musicians Joyce said that will only depend if this project goes well.
“ I have a lot of plans for my music career but that will depend on how my latest single goes. If it goes well and accepted by Ghanaians it will give me the energy to continue my music career and feature other musicians” she said. Joyce has been doing music for more than 15 years now and has backed musicians like Highlife musician Gyedu-Blay Ambolley and singer Sherifa Gunu. She was also a member of the Dela Hayes Women of Colour band.
She pleaded with musicians in Ghana to acknowledge backup singers for the contributions they make.
“It is only a few musicians who come out to acknowledge who backed them in a studio but I have backed a lot of musicians in the past and they know it. It is just right that they acknowledge the contribution we make so that we can feel happy for the good work done. When that is done, other musicians who probably liked what we did on other songs can employ us on their projects. That has been my worry for some time and I wish it could be addressed” she said
