Ghanaian singer and songwriter Jane Afia Awindor, widely known as Efya, has expressed heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support and guidance she continues to receive from her mother, Nana Adwoa Awindor, in her music career.
In an interview with Nana Romeo on May 7, 2025, Efya revealed that her mother has been instrumental in shaping both the artistic and business aspects of her journey in the entertainment industry.
“Definitely my mum. I’m very grateful for her. She’s been a strong support system,” Efya stated. “She’s guided me through the business to make sure I’m well established. She’s very knowledgeable about everything we’re dealing with because this is also a business for us. I’m really glad I involved her in it.”
Efya highlighted that beyond being a source of emotional strength, her mother plays an active role in ensuring her music career is managed professionally and strategically. Nana Adwoa Awindor, a respected figure in Ghanaian media, is known for her depth of experience and leadership, qualities that Efya believes have had a positive impact on her career direction.
The “Best in Me” hitmaker also acknowledged the support she’s received from fellow artists in the industry over the years. She noted that the mutual support among musicians is something she doesn’t take for granted.
“Everybody has been supportive, I can’t nail it down. Every time I’ve invited any artiste to come support me at a show, the people that show up for me—I’m very grateful,” she said. “I’m supportive myself, so the same way I support others, they are always supportive of me.”
Efya emphasized the importance of valuing time and effort, especially in an industry where schedules are demanding. “I know everybody is busy, everybody has their own lives they’re living aside the music, so when people make time for you, just be grateful,” she added.
