Obaapa Christy, a well-known gospel artist from Ghana, recently spoke out about the challenges of being a performer in the music industry.
She revealed that she charges for her performances because of the expenses involved in getting ready for shows.
In a recent interview, Obaapa Christy explained that the cost of makeup and costumes alone can be significant.
These expenses are often overlooked by those outside the industry. She pointed out that makeup is expensive, and costumes are equally expensive because she can’t wear them anywhere after the show. She also has to eat, and this is her work. Even the Bible says that he who works for the Lord eats from their gains.
Obaapa Christy’s comments shed light on the often-overlooked costs that performers must bear, particularly when it comes to looking their best on and off stage.
Makeup, hair styling, and costumes are all crucial elements of a performance, and they can come with a hefty price tag. She emphasized that her performance fees are not just for these expenses, but also for the time and effort she puts into creating a memorable show for her fans.
Obaapa Christy also alleged that other artists in the past had taken the line of action of performing for free and are currently afraid to charge for their services. She thinks that performers should be honest with themselves, especially if it doesn’t offend God. She declared that if you take it as “I am a Christian, so when a pastor calls me, I’m obliged to go and sing, then just receive God Bless You and leave,” it’s wrong. Sister, when you are done, you’ll receive your monthly remuneration, so if you want to charge, do it.As a performer, it’s important to understand that there are many costs involved in putting on a show. Obaapa Christy’s comments shed light on the often-overlooked expenses that performers must bear, particularly when it comes to looking their best on and off stage. It’s important to be honest with yourself and charge fair compensation for your time and effort.
