Yaa Jackson: Awards Don’t Define Me – It’s the Fans That Matter


 

Ghanaian actress and musician Yaa Jackson is making it clear that while she values recognition, her true measure of success lies in staying authentic and connected to her fans.

In a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, the “Moses” singer opened up about how she views her journey in the entertainment world. According to her, accolades are a nice bonus—but not the goal.

“Awards are nice, but they’re not everything,” she said. “I feel truly blessed to have such amazing fans, and that’s what keeps me going. Recognition is cool, but I don’t let it define who I am as an artist. I’m here to make music that resonates with people.”

Having smoothly transitioned from acting into music, Yaa Jackson acknowledged that breaking into collaborations with other artists hasn’t always been easy. Still, she stays focused on her craft and grateful for those who believe in her vision.

“Getting features can be difficult, but I believe in the music I create,” she noted. “I’ve been lucky to work with some really talented artistes, and I’m thankful for those opportunities. The music scene here has a supportive spirit, and I appreciate that energy.”

She also gave a special shoutout to Ghanaian music icon Shatta Wale for supporting her latest single, “Moses.”

“My heartfelt thanks go to Shatta Wale—the king himself—for his incredible support on Moses,” Yaa Jackson shared.

Her words reflect a growing sentiment among many creatives: real success isn’t measured by trophies, but by staying true to oneself and building meaningful connections with listeners.
