    Selasi’s  TOP TEN

    Trayc Selasi is a British-Ghanaian singer and songwriter. She tells OLAITAN GANIU her favourite things.

    Favorite wrist watch

    I am not a fan of the wristwatch. I don’t wear one. But if I had to choose, it would be a Hugo Boss watch because my partner’s got one and it’s quite nice.

    Favorite car

    The Mercedes G-wagon is my favourite car

    Favorite designer

    I’m not a designer girl. I like anything nice, but if I had to choose one, it would be Ghanaian designers. They are amazing and I can’t wait to work with them one day.

    Favorite Perfume

    I don’t have a favourite perfume, but I like my good-smelling Oud either from Dubai, Saudi Arabia or wherever.

    Favorite travel destination

    I love going to so many different places and seeing so many different cultures, but my ultimate favourite is Ghana. I love being back home. You know, being back home is just the ultimate.

    Favorite song

    My favourite song is ‘Soft Life’ by Seyi Shay and Banji Mak because I co-produced and co-wrote that song.

    Favorite book

    My favorite book is The Alchemist. I love reading that book. I would even be going back to read that book again for like the fourth or fifth time.

    Favorite actor/artist

    My favourite actor or artist? One I can think of right now, actor-wise, is Taraji P. Henson. She’s absolutely an amazing actor. For artists, I think who I love right now is Tems. She’s my favourite right now.

    Favorite accessories

    I love some good jewelry. I love my rings. I love some flower rings and African-shaped rings, triangle rings.

    Favorite Food

    Favourite food is beans and plantains. Yeah. If it’s not beans and plantain, then it’s Banku with red pepper sauce with fish and eggs. Yes, I’m a Ghanaian, and we love eggs.

    Trayc Selasi: My life has always been about entertainment

    British-Ghanaian singer and songwriter, Trayc Selasihas said that music has been a part of her life since childhood.

     In a chat with The Nation, the energetic entertainer described her activities in the entertainment space as a fulfilment of her life’s purpose.

     “To be absolutely honest with you, I do not know what career I will venture into because, since I was eight years old, I always wanted to be in the entertainment industry.”

     Continuing, the Afro-fusion vocalist said, “If not music and dancing, I actually don’t know what career I’d venture into. Music and entertainment are my whole life because I grew up listening to different great artistes from across Africa, from Blay Ambolley, Angelique Kidjo, Fela Kuti, Yvonne Chaka Chaka to other highlife musicians. These are just ‘old school’ cats that my parents used to play for us. So it was always fun back in the day, and I just kind of try and infuse that into my music now.”

     Speaking on her inspiration for her newest single titled, ‘International Local Babe (ILB), she said it addressed the issue of culture shock.

     “ILB is a song that passes a message to all the diaspora. Whether you’re from the UK, US, Germany, or wherever you are, be proud of yourself. I don’t think there’s anything to be ashamed of. Be proud of it. Love every part and every aspect of it,” she said.

    Since she burst onto the scene in 2020 with her debut EP entitled, ‘The Art & The Muse’, Selasi has had about eight projects under her belt. She is poised to take over in 2024 with her upcoming body of work.
