Fameye has emphasized the importance of local languages in music, advising upcoming artists to focus on singing in their native dialects.

Fameye pointed out that legendary Ghanaian musicians like Amakye Dede and Daddy Lumba achieved significant financial success by using local languages in their music.

He stated, “If you watch people like Amakye Dede, Daddy Lumba, and the rest, they all made money through our local language. Even McBrown is making it because Twi is playing a major factor.”

Fameye also noted that once artists gain fame and financial stability, they can start incorporating English into their songs, but he believes the initial focus should be on local dialects to maximize their chances of success.

He said, “Once they begin to get money and fame, they can now combine the English with their local dialect, but for now, they should focus on doing music in their local language.”
