Ghanaian artiste J Derobie has candidly shared the financial struggles he faced early in his music career, revealing that there were times when the income from music was not consistent enough to sustain him. The ‘Poverty’ hitmaker, who was previously signed to Mr. Eazi’s Empawa music label, explained that the music industry can be financially unpredictable, especially for emerging artists.

“There was a time the money wasn’t coming in from music, and I honestly wished I had stayed at my office job in Madina. At least there, I knew I’d be paid at the end of the month,” he revealed in an interview with Headless YouTuber.

Despite the financial uncertainty, Derobie emphasized that the music business can be very lucrative once an artist crosses a certain threshold of success. He explained that many top artists, like Mr. Eazi, have reached that level, and he is confident he’s not far from doing the same.

“The music business can be very lucrative, but it doesn’t guarantee daily income. You need to keep working and pushing yourself,” he said.

Derobie pointed out that consistency and hard work are essential in overcoming the challenges that come with the industry. He added that once an artist breaks through, the rewards of success become more substantial and consistent.

“There’s a specific line to cross, and once you do, that’s when you start to reap the rewards,” he stated, affirming his belief that he’s on the verge of that breakthrough.
