You never know a song will be a hit song when you work on it, Kelvynboy has said.

“You don’t know. You [only] feel it, picture it, imagine it,” the singer-songwriter added. “That’s why you start saying some words. You imagine somebody singing that. Trust me, you don’t know. You [just] feel it.”

Ultimately, “it’s in the hands of God and not up to human strength,” if a song will be successful, he stressed.

“No matter how bad or good a person is, I feel it’s written [predetermined] if he will be successful or not,” the Down Flat hitmaker explained. “It’s not determined by your will, strength or know how.”

Kelvynboy, however, clarified that “at the end of the day, it’s the talent first and then the grace of God”.

He confessed “many of my songs did not succeed as I had pictured it from the onset”.

He observed he had opposition “from day one” because “they felt my music didn’t sound Ghanaian”. That notwithstanding, he added, “it was good for me because I am the only one doing what I do, and I survive”.

He underlined songs like Vero, Mea, Yawa No Dey, and others were instant hits mainly “because of the issues surrounding them” but said, generally, “it takes some time [for his songs] to grow on” his audience because of how peculiar they are.

“It was after 5 months that people started singing Pilolo [with Strongman],” he cited, speaking to Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM's Ayekoo Ayekoo midmorning programme, Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

Kelvynboy also revealed he “supports” the production process for his songs because “I have an idea of what I want to hear”.
