Multi-faceted British-Ghanaian singer, dancer, and songwriter Trayc Selasi returns with her highly anticipated debut EP The Art and the Muse, just in time for cuffing season.

A high-level demonstration of genre versatility, playful production, candid songwriting, enveloped in enthralling and self-assured vocals, heavily influenced by the infectious sounds and culture of her native.

“This E.P has become an eye-opener for me and has allowed me to be vulnerable. Opening sides to me I only shared in a diary. This project has given me so much joy, and I am ready to share with the world who I am, My art, My MUSE” .  Trayc explains.

Ghana Calling - Entry for @africavision

So life got in the way of Ghana’s national finals (little brothers who need you to teach them an A Level you’ve never studied like what?!) so we’ve had to settle for internal selection. 

We’ve selected Efya, a gorgeous multi award winning singer from Kumasi, Ghana. A self-described afrosoul singer, Efya first appeared on the talent show Stars of the Future and has also starred in a Nigerian-Ghanaian romantic comedy: Single and Married.  

The selected song is One Of Your Own from her 2015 album Janesis. It’s fairly beautiful and has a really sweet message.

With a week to go until the first semi-final, it’s time to announce the first 10 acts who will be featuring at some point during the selection process for Ghana’s entry to @africavision!
