Ghanaian award-winning dancehall artist Livingstone Etse Satekla, known professionally as Stonebwoy, has shared why he switched off his phone about six hours before the start of his 2025 BHIM Concert. The musician says the decision was part of his mental and emotional preparation ahead of heading on stage for the annual event that draws huge crowds and intense fan excitement.
In a recent media appearance, Stonebwoy explained that turning off his phone helped him to focus fully and stay grounded before performing at the sold-out concert at the Accra Sports Stadium. He described the moment as one that required peace of mind and full concentration, away from distractions so he could deliver the best show for supporters who had come out in large numbers.
The BHIM Concert, part of the larger BHIM Fest celebration, has become a major highlight on Ghana’s entertainment calendar and regularly features energetic performances, surprise guest appearances, and lasting memories for fans of the dancehall genre. Stonebwoy’s choice to disconnect briefly reflects how seriously he takes these performances and his commitment to giving fans a powerful experience.
Supporters on social media praised Stonebwoy’s dedication and preparation approach, noting that many top performers adopt similar methods to manage pre-show nerves and focus before big stages. Whether by prayer, meditation, or simply taking time offline, such practices are common among artists preparing for major concerts.
