Ghanaian musician, Lasmid has disclosed that he has overcome stage fright because he psyched himself up before he entered the music industry.
The ‘Friday Night’ hitmaker revealed that stage fright is not a part of him.
He disclosed:
“It’s not a part of me. I feel that it is something we do often so I’ve realized that it’s normal for people not to enjoy your performance”.

He further added:
“I think every artiste should have this in mind; sometimes you go on stage and no one minds you. It doesn’t mean they are not listening to your music; they are. It’s normal so those things don’t get to me”.

According to the musician, he said some people may be paying close attention to what the artist is doing but they just choose to observe and listen without jumping to the artist’s performance.
Also, he indicated that he prepared himself way before he entered the music industry.
He mentioned:
“Before entering the space, this is the mindset I came with because when I climb the stage, I’ve never been booed before but when I see it being done to others, I put myself in their shoes. Based on this, I psyched myself so that, should I face it, I should be fine.
“Sometimes, when you are booed, you have to leave the stage. In some cases, it brings your morale down but sometimes, when you are being booed but you know your next will ginger them up, you can continue singing. So sometimes, you have to leave the stage and sometimes, you have to continue singing”.

He shared:
“One of my friends went through that ordeal but when he finished performing, he was applauded. I was confused because a while ago, these same people were booing him. I think the next song is what got him the fans”.
