The singer’s mission is to establish an annual festival to showcase Ghanaian musicians, especially those from the Northern Regions, whose artists have suffered from a lack of exposure due to their remoteness from the capital city of Accra.

The emphasis will be on providing a platform for musicians to showcase their work within a "live" setting. Wiyaala is convinced the best way to win international recognition and respect for Ghanaian musicianship is to be able to perform in a live environment. “I believe the reason I have made some small steps in the international market is because I am able to perform live, either alone with my guitar, or with a band.”

Wiyaala is the only female act nominated in the Most Influential Artist category at the upcoming 2016 MTN 4Syte TV Music Video Awards.
