The hate I received at beginning of my career pushed me to work harder Wendy Shay
Wendy Shay, the artist signed under RuffTown Records, has conveyed that the initial criticisms aimed at her during the inception of her career did not perturb her. Instead, they served as a driving force that propelled her to intensify her efforts.
During a recent appearance on TV3's New Day show, Wendy Shay, whose real name is Wendy Addo, revealed that she encountered racial discrimination while growing up in Germany. Therefore, she was taken aback when she faced similar treatment in her home country.
Despite these challenges, the singer remained resilient and impervious to the negativity. She acknowledged that much of the criticism and animosity she faced were influenced by the grief and shock stemming from Ebony's passing, as well as her subsequent signing with RuffTown Records.
Wendy Shay highlighted that subsequent developments actually worked in her favor. As a new artist, she longed for attention, and at that juncture, she was fortunate to receive significant attention, regardless of its nature.
"Having experienced racism in a country where I believed it to be prevalent, I was surprised to receive similar treatment from people here. Yet, this phase coincided with a crucial time in my career. All that I achieved held immense significance when I entered the industry."
"Every artist's aspiration is to capture attention, and I indeed garnered attention, be it positive or negative. Given this opportunity, I embraced it fully. When life hands you lemons, you simply make lemonade," she eloquently stated.
Wendy Shay announced her presence on the music scene with her debut Uber Driver in 2018. She has warmed herself into the hearts of music enthusiasts with a number of popular tunes including Bedroom Commando, Astalavista, The Boy is Mine, Cut It and Survivor.
Wendy Shay is saying that giving up is not the answer critics are nothing new to her.
