I like the black colour because I’m a ‘witch’ – Efya

Singer and songwriter, Jane Fara Fauzzier Afia Boafowaa Yahaya Awindor known in showbiz as Efya has revealed the reason why she is attracted to the black colour.
She said she likes the colour because she is a “witch”.
But further explaining her point, the songstress attributed it to the kind of work she does which is music. She stated that she records at night when everyone is asleep thus making her stay alive at night.

This made her develop an interest in black as darkness has become a companion at night.
“I feel like it blends with every other colour. I think black is something that fits most of the time. Also, I like it because I’m a witch,” the neo-soul vocalist told Doreen Avio on Joy Prime.
She also stated that she added Nokturnal to her name on her Twitter handle because she is always awake at night.
“I don’t really sleep at night and it’s been like that for a very long time. So, I figured I might as well make it cool because I’m a very Nokturnal being and I come alive at night. Most of the time I like to work late at night because it’s quiet,” the songstress added.
Asked if she will wear black on her wedding day, the ‘Ankwadobi’ hitmaker said, “Yes, it’s one of the things I’ve always wanted to do but I’m not sure anymore. We’ll see.”
The “Best in Me” songwriter further revealed that she has always aspired to emulate his father and become a film director which never happened.
But how did Efya land herself in music?
The multiple VGMA Best Female Vocalist of the Year said her music career began after she participated in Stars of the Future, as she has always been singing in church and passionate about music.
As the daughter of filmmaker and celebrity host of the TV show ‘Greetings from Abroad,’ Nana Adwoa Awindor, the singer narrated how she suffered while growing up with a famous mother.
“It was very stressful. There was a lot of pressure. I got beaten up because of my mom when I got to secondary school,” Efya narrated.
In the meantime, having lived with famous and skilled parents gave her some experience in the creative industry at an early age including video editing, directing and animation.
Her parents have contributed to her versatility throughout the establishment of her career and field of work.
However, considering the controversies in the music industry, the singer said that she is not bothered about negativity as it comes with the nature of her job.

Every artiste needs therapy – Efya

The ‘Little Things’ hit singer, Efya Nokturnal has emphasized the importance of therapy in the lives of every musician as they embark on their music careers.
Efya Nokturnal asserts that most musicians live a complicated life hence, seeking therapy helps to shape their minds, as well as prepares them for the plans they set to achieve.
The singer made this statement in an interview on GhOne Entertainment as she promotes her new EP titled “No More Tears”.

“For the management to provide therapy for their artistes I think that is a wonderful idea. So that they will be mentally okay before they step out into the world because it’s not easy. I think therapy is important for every artiste because as creatives, it is not easy for us because we go through a lot that we cannot express all the time because of the eye that is on us. So, we try to maintain and be a little private as usual. I think therapy is very important for any artiste”, she said.
Aside from musicians, Efya Nokturnal urged her fans to go for therapy as she thinks everyone needs a sound mind to go by their daily lives.
“I feel like therapy is necessary for anybody. As human beings, we all have a very complicated mind that we are trying to figure out daily so it is just about placing yourself in the right environment so that you can protect yourself and your mind”, she added.

Nicki Minaj regrets undergoing plastic surgery

During Thursday’s episode of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, veteran rapper Nicki Minaj expressed her regret over having plastic surgery, saying that she was even shocked by some of the old photos of herself that she did not love before going under the knife.
“I guarantee you, if you change anything on your body and do anything surgical and all this, you’re going to — more than likely, not definitely, more than likely — look back one day and say, ‘I was fine just the way I was,’” the 40-year-old told hosts Chioma Nnadi and Chloe Malle, PEOPLE reported.
“And that’s what happened to me,” she continued. “I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn’t love.”

When the co-hosts touched on the Supa Bass rapper sitting alongside Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour at the Carolina Herrera Show in September 2011, Minaj explained that she opts not to look at her old photos because “I didn’t like the way I looked.”
“I didn’t like being skinny, having a flat butt, you know. Having boobs that didn’t sit high enough. It was a lot of things,” she added. “And when I look back at myself now, I literally was like, ‘Oh, I’m about to look like that girl again.’”
“The reason why I wasn’t able to look back at my old photos was I didn’t like the way I looked, right, physically,” the 40-year-old continued. “And now I love the way that person looks physically.”
