Ghanaian afropop, dancehall and R&B artiste Vera Hamenoo-Kpeda popularly known as Mzvee says the type of songs that she does has been limited to only dancehall—but according to her she is versatile when it comes to genres.

Mzvee revealed that she has gospel songs on her album—and she believes she is being tagged as a dancehall artiste because dancehall songs dominate on her list of songs.

“I think I am branded as a Dancehall artist because most of the songs I do are Dancehall, but if you listen to my album from last year it has different genres on it. I have highlife, I have R&B, I have some gospel etc. So I am very versatile when it comes to genres. The main thing will be dancehall but I will still do different genres.”

Mzvee also opened up on how she struggled to convince her parents to accept her career as a musician.

“My first challenge was telling my parents about it. They didn’t know for about a month, it was my mum that knew about it first, and then we tried to push it to my dad. But he didn’t like it even after I had told him. He came to accept it at some point when he saw that it wasn’t that bad. The second challenge would be combining music with school work. It was very hard.

She admitted that her parents have now got her back in whatever she does.

“Yes. They have been (supportive). Everyone is on board now. At first, It wasn’t like this. I mean, I go home now and they call me MzVee sometimes, which is weird, but it’s cool,” she said in an interview with Glitz Africa Magazine.
