Winner of 2020 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards 'Unsung Category', Akaateba Christopher Akanvarichaab aka Teflon Flexx says upcoming artistes should invest heavily in building a solid fan base else they have no career.

He said most of the young artistes don’t appreciate the importance of people around them who can be termed as their core fans to expand the wings of their musical craft.

In an interview on Pluzz FM, Teflon explained that his successes can be recounted from the massive support he has been getting from his family, friends and other music lovers who appreciate his style of music.

“Up-and-coming artists usually focus on more on their voices or their talent rather than getting closer to the people who will patronize their music.

"You can have the best talent but if no one gets to hear it or support it to get far, you won’t have a career” he said.
