Austrian-Nigerian singer, songwriter and recording artist, Rose May Alaba, has called for more collaboration between female artists.
She noted that a lot of female artists collaborate with male artists more than their female counterparts.
The 23-year-old lady who is already a pop star in Austria, where she is based is, is currently in Nigeria to familiarise with the media and stakeholders in the entertainment industry.
Speaking recently on Hip TV programme, Trending, Alaba said, “Female artists should support each other way more.
“We always have collaborations with men but what about collaborating with each other? Collaborating with each other would even help us more. Well, it may take time because female artists are only just starting to get recognition.
“Personally, I think men collaborate more because they are more open than women. We should try and change that by complementing each other.”
Rose May Alaba is best known for her 2016 single, Love Me Right, which peaked at number 1 on the Austrian iTunes chart for over four weeks.
Besides showcasing her talent at the 2015 Austria Music Awards, she wrote and performed the theme song of the 2017 Special Olympic World Winter Games in the Central European country.
The singer who says she is proud of her achievements so far, especially her singles and major performances, says she is not resting on her oars just yet.
Interestingly, her Ogere Remo, Ogun State-born father, George Alaba, who accompanied her on this trip, has been a DJ and a recording artiste, too.
Mr. Alaba used to work at Lagos-based Tabansi Records.
He is a contemporary of the likes of Chris Okotie, Felix Liberty and Majek Fashek.
