“I left Ghana 12 years ago and during that time the industry was very decent ..though there were profane songs ,they weren’t bad like what’s happening now…the music industry is currently breeding too many indecent artistes…just look at the current hit song by Patapaa..it’s very shameful..something must to be done to curb the situation from worsening: Sam Martey told Gatuso

As a chartered Accountant,delving on how he combines his busy schedules with his musical career,Martey told Gatuso that,“Though I trained as an accountant, music comes naturally to me,As a songwriter/singer,my inclination is to praise God through my musical creations and I trust lots of doors will open for me on that score”

Starting off as a young chorister in the Assemblies of God Church,Martey's debut album came out in 2015 but did not catch much attention due to inadequate promotion— but has now learnt more about the music business since then and the current album(Come and See) is doing enormously well.
