Nigeria beware, I am here to stay-Ashley Stephanie

While her current video, Molo Molo is still enjoying massive airplays, popular Cameroon-born singer, Ashley Stephanie, who has a deep love for the Nigerian music industry said that she is back in Nigeria to have a closer link with her Nigerian fans.

The talented singer who opened up on why she has finally decided to live in Nigeria said she is also here to promote her music.

“I am also back here to promote my music career and also motivate the women in the Nigerian music industry to do more. I also want to use this opportunity to call on Africans in the Diaspora to come back to their roots.

We have put a lot in the international music world; we need to bring some of those goodies back home, that’s why I am here. I have been at the Calabar carnival for four consecutive years, sharing same stage with some top African music stars, like Psquare, Awilo, among others.

Americans are looking up to Africans because we have good music and fierce dance moves, but there is something lacking in the African music. The males in the industry are dominating, I think it’s about time; female singers came out of their shells and fought for a position too.

We have so much love and respect for our male colleagues, but we also need a better share of the attention. Nigeria should expect more of me because I am here to stay. I have devoted 70 percent of myself and time to Nigeria while 30 percent goes to the rest of the world,” she said.

The French international stage goddess fluently speaks five international languages including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and English.
