I Want To Be Legendary Like Michael Jackson – Camidoh
Ghanaian Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Raphael Atatsi Camidoh, better known as Camidoh, has expressed his aspiration to create music that resonates deeply with his fans, much like the late iconic American musician, Michael Jackson.
During an interview on the Afternoon Show on TV3, Camidoh discussed his music career and the effort he puts into making his songs relatable to his audience. The celebrated crooner emphasized that recording his music is a labor-intensive process because he aims to communicate emotions effectively through his lyrics.
“It takes a lot of work for me to make my music and that’s why when it comes out, it feels very relatable because then I have to sing with a lot of passion just so when the next man listening those emotions can be communicated, so this is what the music is talking about,” Camidoh explained.
The ‘Adoley’ hitmaker shared his goal of crafting songs with lyrics that connect with listeners on an emotional level, similar to the impact of Michael Jackson’s music. “I want to be legendary like Michael Jackson. You know, when you listen to him, you can really feel. When he says ‘heal the world,’ you actually feel that he wants to heal the world, and that’s the kind of artiste I want to be,” he added.
Camidoh recently unveiled his latest single ‘NFL (Breakfast),’ which reflects on a past heartbreak he experienced. Despite the challenging situation, he mentioned that it allowed him to spend more quality time with his family, particularly his mother. The award-winning singer also acknowledged seeking therapy and receiving advice from friends to cope with the aftermath of the heartbreak.
By channeling his emotions into his music, Camidoh hopes to leave a lasting legacy and achieve a level of artistry comparable to Michael Jackson.
