Award winning Dancehall act, Shatta Wale was on e.TV�s The Late Nite Celebrity Show to share his story. The 'Everybody Like My Tin' singer revealed to host Giovani Caleb:- �From Bandana to Shatta Wale was a long journey, I was at a place no one wanted to be; at some point, I was living with insects, frogs and when I remember that now � it fills my eyes with tears. �I was living at a place where an artist was not supposed to live. That was when I bought myself a small computer, a Pentium two and a keyboard and told myself I wanted to learn how to play beats. �Because anytime I went to any studio to record; right after I left, they will delete my song � apart from the money which was hard to come by then, I still tried to pay. And I was like �wow, this shouldn�t be happening to me� and anytime I wanted to protest, they will go like Dancehall is not something people in Ghana will want to listen to. But I kept telling them �this was what my spirit wanted me to do. So when I bought my computer, I was always in the room alone around Sakaman playing beats and recording the songs and showing it to people. Some will laugh at me and say �Oh! This one you wouldn�t get anywhere, and you won�t make money� Try and do what others are doing.� I was like it�s not all about the money � this is what I want to put to the youth of Ghana that you can be what you want to be. Money will come when God sees how hard you are working. �Things was so bad even my girlfriend at the time told me I wasn�t classic enough and decided to go for a classy boyfriend and I was like wow � This was the 'Megye Wo Girl' happening in real life. �I had to move from one area to another area and met friends who promised they were going to help me - they offered me places to live and all that. �I slept in people�s halls and kitchens. Sometimes I had to squeeze myself into people's verandas. And there were times when my friend�s girlfriends came around, and I had to sit outside and wait with all these mosquitoes. �And even if I got one girl who was feeling me in that kind of way and wanted to support me small, and I wanted to enjoy some [fleeting pleasures of the flesh] - I couldn�t afford a hotel, so I just find one small uncompleted building and do it quick quick. �It was crazy but I really had to be strong. Looking back, I realized I was the one who brought all the problems I was facing upon myself. I decided to leave home at a very tender age � my dad didn�t disown me. I was rather stubborn with what I wanted to do. That�s how God created me.�
