Ghanaian musician Article Wan has shared his secrets to having a show-stopping performance, emphasising the importance of stagecraft and creating a memorable experience for the audience.
In an interview with DJ Slim on Daybreak Hitz, Article Wan stated that a good performance is one that leaves people with something to talk about.
“A good performance or stagecraft starts from your intro, how you enter the stage and when you enter the stage. The people should feel it in the middle, they should enjoy you. When you are leaving, there should be something that everybody can talk about. When people really don’t talk about your performance, I don’t consider it as a performance,” Article Wan explained.
He also noted that a good stage performance goes beyond wearing nice costumes.
"Forget about how you are going to dress nicely and come and do everything. [It is not good] when people don't talk about it; it should be memorable. Like, it should be something that will be on the back of people's minds,” he said.
The musician also shared his personal experience with stage performances, admitting that he can be hard on himself when things don't go as planned.
"Me, myself, sometimes when I go to stage and I don't feel my best, I tell my team when they tell me, 'hey, you have spoil there'. I say, no, no, you don't know what you're saying. I know how I want to do it. So when it doesn't go well for me, me personally, the spirit is down. Because you can't come and lie to me that That super you spoil there, you spoil there. I know what I can do. What are you telling me?“ he asserted.
When asked about his past performance on the TGMA stage, Article Wani revealed that he didn't enjoy it, but appreciated the opportunity to perform at the time.
“I really didn’t enjoy our performance because that was the time I was coming up and how the coordination went for me to come and perform by then,” he stated.
Article Wan has been in the news lately for requesting that the Telecel Ghana Music Awards organisers bill him for stage performances.
He indicated that he could do better than the "jump and go" artistes they put on the stage.
"Kudos to TGMA for your remarkable work over the years! As you plan ahead, I humbly suggest curating a lineup of talents like myself and others who deliver truly memorable performances, not just "jump and go" acts," he wrote on Facebook.
In the meantime, he is out with a new song titled 'Feel Okay.'
