She further indicated that although she strives to churn out great songs that have earned her a strong following in Beijing where she has been performing a couple of times.


Answering questions as to how she has still not made it in big in Ghana considering the talent she has to compete any of the known faces, Adez explained she was still finding her way through and believes it would not last long to make it big.


Speaking on possible collaborations, the artist stated she does not fancy featuring already known artists to break out in the music industry.

“Funny enough I don’t want to feature already known artists. This is because people have them all ready, and the world needs new voices.


One thing is if I feature a big artist, the song becomes a hit, when I’m going on shows; people will expect to see these stars with you, and their absence would have an effect on my music," she indicated.

Adez prior to her musical hiatus released a classical piece titled “Budiin” which featured Stonebwoy. She had an enormous amount of experience and skill and backed other music greats like Daddy Lumba, Kojo Antwi, Hugh Masakela, Ofori Amponsah, Samini, VIP and Kwabena Kwabena.
