Efya, Bisa Kdei collaborate on ‘One of Ur Own’

Published on July 26, 2014

When two good musicians come together to do a song, nothing is expected but of course a good job. And it seems that was what happened when Efya featured Bisa Kdei on her latest One Of Ur Own.
Although Efya had earlier announced on Twitter that her next release would be a Kaywa produced song Gingam Too Much, the tide seemed to have shifted in favour of this one with Bisa Kdei who won the 2014 Ghana Music Awards Songwriter of the Year award.
On One Of Your Own, the Afro Neo-Soul artiste sings her heart out on how she would want to be treated. The love themed song hears Efya expressing her emotions on how fair it would be if everyone treated others the way they would love to be treated.
According to the multi award winner, “I had wanted to put Gingam Too Much out next but after a discussion with my team, we decided the piece with Bisa Kdei is a better choice to put out right now.”
Efya was also recently nominated for an award in the 2014 African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) which will be taken place in Dallas, Texas on July 26, 2014.
She is also slated to perform alongside Nicki Minaj on the Diamond Fields stage at the Tribe One Music Festival at Cullinan, Tshane in South Africa from September 26-28, 2014.
Born Jane Awindor, Efya shot to fame when she participated in the maiden edition of the Stars of the Future talent show in 2006 where she came third.
She has won the Best Female Vocal Performance category at the Ghana Music Awards in five successions, beginning in 2011.
In 2013, Efya released This Is Not The Album (T.I.N.T), a digital mixtape which was released during the period of 2011 and 2013.
Some of the songs on the mixtapes were Getaway and Best In Me.
Efya has won several awards including Musician of the Year at the City People Entertainment Awards (2014) and Best Storyline Video of the Year at the 4Syte TV Music Video Awards (2013).
