Song bird Sefa has opened up about how an opportunity launched her professional music career.
She revealed that it all began with a direct message from rapper and entrepreneur D-Black.
Sefa says D-Black contacted her via Instagram while she was still a university student, inviting her to join a new record label he was planning with producer DJ Breezy.
She initially doubted the message was genuine and asked her lecturer to verify D-Black’s account before discussing the opportunity with her mother.
After recording with Epixode and impressing the team with her vocals, Sefa said discussions about officially signing her to the label began.
Speaking on a cooking show on UTV on August 16, 2026, Sefa said she was initially sceptical about the message because she could hardly believe it had actually come from the rapper.
According to the singer, her mother encouraged her to accept the opportunity and see how things developed.
She said; “I had to discuss it with my mother and she agreed that I should give it a try and let’s see how it would go.”
That decision eventually took Sefa from the university classroom to the recording studio, where she encountered several musicians for the first time.
She admitted that the experience was intimidating because she was unfamiliar with the industry and found herself as the only woman in the room.
She recalled; “I went to the studio and I saw a couple of artistes there. That’s the first time I saw them, so I was so nervous and I was the only woman among them.”
Sefa was subsequently paired with Ghanaian musician Epixode for a recording session.
She said the artistes at the studio made an effort to help her feel comfortable after recognising that she was new to the music industry.
She explained; “I was asked to record a song with Epixode and luckily for me, they helped me a lot because they realised I’m new in the industry,
The recording session ultimately became a turning point. Sefa said her vocal performance impressed those at the studio and convinced them that she had the potential to pursue music professionally.
She added; “After they realised I could sing well, that’s when the signing conversation came in.”
