Jane Fara Fauzzier Afia Boafowaa Yahaya Awindor, better known in showbiz as Efya, has revealed why she is drawn to the colour black.
She likes the colour because she is a “witch.”
However, in explaining her point further, the songstress attributed it to the nature of her work, which is music. She stated that she records at night when everyone else is sleeping, allowing her to stay awake at night.
Because darkness has become her companion at night, she has developed an interest in black.
“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 changed her Twitter handle to Nokturnal 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.
When asked if she will wear black on her wedding day, the ‘Ankwadobi’ hitmaker replied, “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 also revealed that she always wanted to be like his father and become a film director, but that never happened.
But how did Efya get into music?
The multiple VGMA Best Female Vocalist of the Year stated that her music career began after she competed in Stars of the Future, as she has always sung in church and is passionate about music.
The singer shared her experiences growing up with a famous mother as the daughter of filmmaker and celebrity host of the TV show ‘Greetings from Abroad,’ Nana Adwoa Awindor.
“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.
Meanwhile, growing up with famous and talented parents provided her with early exposure to the creative industries, including video editing, directing, and animation.
Throughout the development of her career and field of work, her parents have contributed to her versatility.
Despite the controversies in the music industry, the singer stated that she is unconcerned about negativity because it is inherent in her job.
