Shatta Berry became an overnight sensation in 2019 at the age of six after multiple videos of her singing award-winning Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale's songs word for word emerged on social media.

Her musical talent earned her an opportunity to meet the SM boss, who acknowledged her as his 'music daughter' and promised to mentor her in the Ghanaian music industry.

Shatta Berry's encounter with Shatta Wale also earned her a cameo in the official music video for the dancehall musician's 2018 smash hit, My Level.

In 2020, the young music prodigy participated in the Talented Kidz music reality show, where she showcased her talent and gained mainstream attention.

She was later evicted from the show, a move which surprised many dedicated fans who had grown fond of the young singer.

On Sunday, May 10, 2020, the judges of the show, Auntie Paulina Oduro, and Uncle Benedict explained that Shatta Berry's eviction was as a result of her constantly not being able to control her breathing during her performances on the stage.

However, in a subsequent interview with media personality and Shatta Wale's current manager Sammy Baah Flex on Showbiz Daily, Shatta Berry rubbished the reason behind her eviction.

She claimed that the judges never complained to her about her breathing. She stated that she was only evicted from the Talented Kidz show because she did an interview with Adom TV after donating at an event.

Following her exit from the show, Shatta Berry has continued with her education and has released countless songs on various digital music streaming platforms.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on the struggles of child singers in the Ghanaian music industry.

He said:

"The lack of structures in the music scene is the reason for the lack of success after reality shows. Those who succeeded after music reality shows had teams that took over after the shows and gave them extra elevation."
