She further stated that even though many claim there’s a tough competition in the industry, she strongly believes there’s none. “No, I don’t see anybody as a competition. We are all different. There are multiple lanes on the road so we could share it. As long as no one crosses me when I am ‘driving’, it's fine,” Pam stated.

Pam, who thinks a breakthrough would be easy for her with the support from the media, added that the year 2018 is going to be a 'busy year' for her because she has a lot in the pipeline. According to her, she’s got a bunch of singles to release including high-quality music videos.

She also hinted at a collaboration with A-List artistes including Shatta Wale, Ebony Reigns, E.L, Sista Afia among others.

The Public Relations Officer of 576 Muzik, David Mawuli, also revealed that Pam isn’t the only artiste the record label will be working with. He said there are ongoing negotiations with some international artistes so Ghanaians should watch out for more.

Although Pam has always been passionate about music, her family, dominated by medical practitioners, managed to convince her to enrol at the University of Miami to read Nursing.

Unsurprisingly, along the line, she gave in to her affinity for the arts and diverted her course when she enrolled at the University of London Goldsmiths, studying for a Master’s Degree in Media and Communication.

While pursuing her educational certificates, Pam never did away with her first love, music. In July 2017, she released her first single; ‘Low Key’, this being the culmination of low key recording work since 2013. The song received rave reviews and massive airplay, leading to her being praised as a talent on the rise.

Like other exceptional musicians, Pam is inspired by the inevitable challenges of life as well as a desire to share her life experiences with the world through the art form at which she is adept at.

Pam cites Sade, Rihanna, Tiwa Savage, Beyonce, Alicia keys, Coldplay, Queen, Miriam Makeba and Shakira as her influences. This aside, she maintains a fierce loyalty to her own unique style too, trusting her idiosyncrasies to propel her to global impact.
