Ghanaian singer Peter Famiyeh Bozah, popularly known as Fameye, has shared his experiences from his past deal with the independent American record label, distribution and publishing company Empire.

In 2020, the Nothing I Get hitmaker inked a music distribution deal with the top label's Nigerian subsidiary after winning the Best New Artist of the Year award at that year's Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

Before his deal expired, Fameye released two studio albums, Greater Than EP and Songs of Peter, under Empire's umbrella.

Fameye shares lessons from his Empire deal

In an interview with media personality Abeiku Santana, Fameye shared that he preferred being in complete control of his music career as an independent artiste.

The singer, who recently released a new song titled "Very Soon," noted that working with an international record label has many restrictions on a musician's career.

He said:

"I was working with Empire before. We are over. We are not working anymore. For now, I believe I can do things on my own. Working with an international label comes with a lot of restrictions."

Singer Fameye said that his experiences during his deal with an international label pushed him to work as an independent artiste.

He explained that being independent helps him make critical career decisions and amass a lot of wealth for his children to benefit from in the future.
