Music producer and sound engineer David Kojo Kyei, popularly known as Kaywa, has spoken out for the first time about the end of his professional relationship with singer Lasmid, following the artiste’s win in the MTN Hitmaker competition.
In an interview on the Afternoon Ride with Andy Dosty on Hitz 103.9 FM, Kaywa said he signed Lasmid on a one-year contract immediately after the show. He noted that the young artiste was enthusiastic and fully committed to his music career in the early days.
“We did one year when he won MTN Hitmaker. MTN gave him to me. We did one year contract, and after the contract we had finished and he was always in the studio when his time had expired. He was consistently there. I took care of him, fed him. And he said I should put him back on the label,” Kaywa explained.
According to Kaywa, he planned to reinvest in Lasmid and had even recorded six songs with him ahead of a possible return to the label. However, he revealed that other artistes on Highly Spiritual Music were uncomfortable with the idea of Lasmid rejoining the label because they thought the label did not have enough money to cater for all of them.
Despite the internal friction, Kaywa said he continued to believe in Lasmid’s talent and potential.
In a separate interview on Daybreak Hitz with Kwame Dadzie, Lasmid described Kaywa as “my godfather” and added that “we are cool.”
Asked whether he has access to his songs, Lasmid declined to comment, indicating that it was a matter best addressed by his management.
Lasmid has since moved on and is currently collaborating with Nigerian artiste TML on an EP titled Sweet Songs for You.
