Rufftown Records star Wendy Shay has revealed why her concert, ‘Shay Concert’, has always been free for patrons.
She readily answered in an interview that the patrons stream her music.
“I was the topmost streamed female artiste last year(2022) so I thought, why not do something for my fans?”

The support the German-trained nurse has received from her fans since her Uber Driver’ 2018 debut is of much importance to her.
The award-winning singer concluded by saying:
“It’s very big to me. I mean I am who I am because of them. They play a very big role so I feel like that is the best way I can give back to them for them to feel the connection we share and know that I think about them too”.

The ‘Shay Concert’ debuted in 2018, and had a second edition in 2019 but went on a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is back this Saturday, January 7, 2023.
In the daytime, there will be a free medical screening and in the evening from 7 PM, the music concert will commence at the West Hills Mall, Weija.
Wendy will be supported by industry fellows such as Shatta Wale, Medikal, Fameye, Kelvynboy, Mr. Drew, Lasmid, AK Songstress, Eno Barony, and many others.
Wendy Shay tops 2022 Boomplay Chart
Earlier in the year, when Boomplay released its mid-year stats for streams, the Rufftown Records artist was the only female Ghanaian artist on the music streaming app’s Top 10 out of their weekly Top 100 songs.
Wendy Shay’s ‘Survivor’ at the time came right on top of Black Sherif’s ‘Kwaku The Traveller’, which placed tenth on the chart.
After the feat achieved by Wendy Shay for the mid-year, it does not come as a surprise that she ended the year as the most streamed female artist.
She beat strong competition from Gyakie and Diana Hamilton, who were second and third respectively on this year’s chart.
Wendy Shay’s ‘Survivor’, a self-affirming story of how to pick up pieces shattered after a major heartbreak is one of the songs that greatly helped her to achieve this feat.
Also, the release of her ‘Enigma EP’, with the viral ‘Habibi’ song went a long way to help the award-winning singer to go home with bragging rights as one of Ghana’s most successful artists in 2022.
There is no doubt that this is a record the singer would want to keep and better in 2023.
Wendy Asiamah Addo entered the musical scene in a turbulent time. Her grit and resilience over the years have manifested in her delivery of relatable hit songs.
