I have male hormones in me - Wiyaala

"Oh my God!! My heart was beating gbugum gbugum gbugum...from zero to hero", that was the humour Noella Wiyaala portrayed when she was receiving the best female vocal performer award at the VGMA.

To Wiyaala, time really waits for no man, that's why she has positively utilised the little chance she had.

She started singing & dancing at the age of 5. As the grand ambassador of Pepsi Africa and noted for songs like "tinamba nyi", the Sisaala music queen, like George Forest, an award winning sound engineer who waited for 34yrs before winning a major award, also waited for 4yrs before her breakthrough.

She believes that for Sherifa Gunu to state that she is going to overthrow Stonebwoy; the current artistes of the year, it may be that she is stronger now and may have a lot of materials or serious music which may have motivated her to make that assertion.

She noted emphatically that, she & Sherifa are all best in their different ways. Sherifa's style is pure traditional African, but hers is a bit diluted with the western influence with Michael Jackson and Tina Turner as her idols.

Wiyaala who exerts more energy on stage has admitted frantically that she has male hormones in her. "I know I look like a man. My physical stature is like a man. I feel more comfortable when i walk like a boy, but because of the red carpet, though am a woman, I was for the first time in a long dress like a woman and could see the way I was walking twa-twa-twa-twa like that... hahahaha", she told Dj Murphy Lee of Storm FM in Sunyani concerning her view about the red carpet at this year's VGMA.

Wiyaala is billed to headline the Hague African festival in Holland this summer. The festival in its 7th year, has provided a platform for musicians with roots in Nigeria, Sudan, Senegal & Congo.

With the accolade 'young lioness of Africa', expect Wiyaala to raise the flag of Ghana high with her electrifying stage performance.
