Fast-rising Ghanaian musician Jubed says her fellow artist Sarkodie played a significant role in shaping her confidence, telling her to believe in her talent and ignore naysayers as she builds her career.
In an interview, Jubed recounted how Sarkodie advised her early on to focus on her craft and not allow critics to distract her from her goals. She described the mentorship as important to her development, saying it helped her stay grounded when facing early challenges and public scrutiny.
“Whenever people doubted me or tried to define who I should be, Sarkodie was always there to remind me that talent and hard work speak for themselves,” she said. Jubed said that message has been central to how she approaches her work and interacts with her audience. It has also helped her navigate social media commentary and the pressures that come with visibility in the music industry.
Jubed, who has been gaining traction with her music in Ghana’s entertainment scene, credited Sarkodie with reinforcing the idea that belief in her own potential would prove more powerful than listening to critics. She said that advice encouraged her to embrace her unique sound and pursue creative risks without hesitation.
The artist noted that the journey to recognition has not been easy, but mentorship, encouragement from peers, and her own resolve have kept her focused. Jubed said Sarkodie’s influence reminded her that every artist faces doubt, but resilience and belief in oneself are key ingredients for long-term success.
Her comments come as she continues to release music and build a growing fan base, with several recent performances and collaborations helping to raise her profile within the Ghanaian music industry.
