Speaking to Pulse Ghana’s lifestyle Editor, Portia Arthur, she revealed that she writes most of her songs and he has done that except for one: PEPPER ft BISA KDEI. Sefa added that the universe inspires her to write good music. Nature presents us with a lot of inspiration; whether it be the people around us, our circumstances or our current mood.

Do you believe music and fashion go hand in hand?

Yes, it defiantly does. Apart from a musician being vocally good? You have to build a brand. And that brand must be appealing or should I say pleasant to the eye in other to make selling easy • And what you wear on the outside matters a lot when it comes to building a brand.
