Ghanaian Afrobeat singer, Kelvyn Boy, attributes his career transformation and heightened exposure to his hit song "Mea." During an appearance on TV3 New Day, Kelvyn Boy expressed his gratitude for the significant impact "Mea" has had on his life and musical career.
The artist, signed under Blak Arm Group, acknowledged that while he had released other songs before "Mea," this particular track stood out and garnered immense attention, leading to a surge in show bookings and financial success.
Kelvyn Boy enthusiastically stated, "That song really changed my life. Yes, it brought me so much exposure even though I had other songs. When 'Mea' came, I was playing shows every weekend, and it brought the hype, and I was seeing money."
Recalling the creation process of the song, Kelvyn Boy shared that he was ready to sleep when he heard a beat playing. Despite being tired, the sound of rain prevented him from falling asleep, leaving him restless. It was during this moment of restlessness that he found himself humming a melody from MASSARI's 2006 song "Real Love," which had been stuck in his head.
"I was tired and was going to sleep, and it rained, so I couldn't sleep. I picked the melody from MASSARI's 2006 song 'Real Love.' If I don't tell you, you won't know; it was ringing in my head like that. So I told Samsney, and we recorded the melody without the lyrics. And Joey B did his thing on it," Kelvyn Boy explained.
The success of "Mea" not only brought Kelvyn Boy exposure and financial gains but also solidified his presence in the music industry. The song's catchy melody and unique blend of Afrobeat and contemporary influences struck a chord with audiences, propelling the artist to new heights.
