My musical success & financial breakthrough started when I was about to leave Sarkodie’s label’ – Strongman
Strongman, a former signee of Sarkodie’s record label Sarkcess Music, has discussed how he became famous and successful financially after leaving the industry.
When Strongman’s contract with MicBurnez Music terminated in 2017, he signed with SarkCess Music. He made the decision to quit the label in 2019, nevertheless.
Strongman produced well-known songs for Sarkcess Music, including “Odasani,” “Monster,” “Vision,” and “Baby Girl.”
The rapper talked about how his career took off after quitting the record company, leading to higher profits and recognition, in an interview with Kbn Nkansah.
Strongman asserts that he started experiencing financial success in the music industry at about the time he had plans to leave SarkCess Music.
He admitted that before signing with the label, he had some savings that he might have used to buy a car, but he decided to utilize the money for other things instead.
“I think when I was about to leave SarkCess was when I started to make money in music. Before SarkCess, I had some money on me which I could use to buy a car but I didn’t and rather spent it on other things”, he said.
Strongman thanked Sarkodie, the CEO of SarkCess Music, for helping him advance his career in the entertainment industry during the conversation.
But he highlighted that he feels more at ease now in terms of composing music and other aspects of his life than he did while he was with the company.
“After I left, there is no stress in life anymore. I am not saying Sarkodie did not help and I have never said that. If I was in Form 1 and when I was with Sarkcess, my level changed to Form two, and you don’t expect me to remain there.
“I have to fight harder and grow. Sarkcess helped me but at the level I am now, I am happy. It’s not about the money aspect but it’s more like I feel now my mind has been cleared of certain things”, he added.
Although Strongman expressed gratitude to Sarkodie for his assistance, he said he was happy with where he is right now since he thinks his mind is free of certain restrictions.
