I Used to Beg on the Streets – Wiyaala Reveals

Traditional singer, Noella Wiyaala has revealed how severe hardship in life sent her to beg for alms on the street for survival at a point in her life.

According to Wiyaala, after participating in the Stars of the Future reality show, she went through several challenges and one of the challenges was to beg on the streets of Accra to feed herself.

In an interview on GHONE, she disclosed that she had to defer her course at the Polytechnic because of a reality show (Stars of the Future), and so failing to win the ultimate affected her.

“My mates at the Polytechnic were calling and asking me if I would not return to school, but they did not know what was going on with me; that I was suffering,” Wiyaala said.

She disclosed further that even though her parents showed their willingness to support her, their support were still not enough, meaning she had to fend for herself.

However, today, Wiyaala is one of Ghana’s celebrated musician with international presence.

In 2015, she was solely invited by the Queen of England for a performance at the Buckingham Palace on Queen Elizabeth’s birthday.

Since then, Wiyaala has left no stone unturned in ensuring that she succeeds in the industry.

Despite her rather poor beginning, Wiyaala is currently rubbing shoulders with other heavyweight musicians in Ghana and the world. She further disclosed that nothing would stop her from working hard in achieving her goals.
