The Cameroonian artiste Kissilâ can claim to be one of the few to have sent a response to Nigerian music group, P Square’s ‘Chop My Money’ with her ‘No Chop your Money’, to simply remind them that not all women are materialistic.

There are those who exhibit true love. The latter, in an interview with us disclosed she would like a collaboration with Stanley Enow of Jovi because she is a big fan of their music style. Read more below.

Q: Hello Kissilâ, how are you?

A: I'm fine, thank you.

Q: Has Cameroon been forever forgotten?

A: Obviously no. Sings (O Cameroon, Cradle of our ancestors ...) Laughter. I love my country. The Cameroon is extremely missed. I still want to tour the country in the near future. Our customs, our dishes, our sense of humor and many other features specific to us are all the things that cause nostalgia. Nothing in the world will divert me from my beloved country which I am proud of.

Q: Tell us about your album that will be released soon but before that a brief on your single, ‘No Chop your Money’ you outdoored in October 2013?

A: The album is making headway slowly but surely. I have not yet had sponsors but that does not stop me from moving ahead with the team. My single ‘No Chop Your Money’ came to life in response to P Square’s single, ‘Chop My Money. I wanted them to understand that not all women like a man because of his money. Love without material things exists. In our society, love and starting a family are the core values that we must instill in our children. ‘No Chop Your Money’ has been successful in some countries but is still unknown in Cameroon. It's a matter of time. For now I have not put the package on a big promotion because I'm particularly focusing on the production of my album. You know, I'm the only one wearing many hats. I write all my songs, I compose melodies, organize them and produce the music. I go to the studio only for the final mix. Though I do everything on my own I exchange ideas with the director from time to time for my videos. I am everywhere ... (laughs). You see that all this is not easy to coordinate. But I am a versatile, dynamic and very organized person. My friends call me a workaholic.

Q: Your current development is another single, ‘When the Stars Fly Over’; the video recording has just been put online. Tell us the story of this beautiful song.

A: Yes, indeed, ‘When the stars fly over’ in French means ‘Quand les étoiles survoleront’ is a piece close to my heart. You know, no matter whom you are, no matter where you end up, whatever the obstacles that one encounters in life, always stay hopeful. Never give up and sink in the dungeon of despair. There is always someone to count on somewhere. This person could be a friend, a stranger or a family member. But above all he must have faith in God who is the Eternal Almighty Father. It works in all circumstances and we are blessed every day. We must thank Him infinitely.

Q: Why did you choose to merge the gospel at current rates, including urban, the Afrobeat genre?

A: I do not merge only with the gospel. I also do fusions with blues or traditional song from my home, the Bafang (West Cameroon region)). I was looking to do something new this time. As I indicated to you at our last meeting, I am a Blues singer at the base. Then I found my spirituality in singing gospel. Frankly, I feel in unity with God when I sing gospel. I feel good and serene. I specialize in Negro Spirituals the time of slavery, the song of hope, hence the birth of ‘When the stars fly over’. The idea came to reach a wider audience.

Q: Do you listen to songs from the country? Where exactly?

A: Yes of course. I listen to many; Eboa Lottin (Makossa), Mother Anne-Marie Nzié (Bikutsi and world), St Bruno (Mangambeu), Stanley Enow, Jovi (Hip Hop), and many others. My list is not many (laughs).

Q: If you had to work with a Cameroonian artiste or Cameroonian artistes who would you go for?

A: It would be an honor for me to work with Stanley Enow or Jovi. I love their music style and raw language they use in their pieces. I also have in store a hip hop track and I see one of them singing the rap part. A possible featuring.

Q: Thank you for giving us your time. What are your final words?

A: I’m grateful instead for the attention you’ve given me. I would like to thank all my fans for their continued support. I can only hold on to them and promise a musical adventure. OBOSSO CAMEROON!

I’d like to disclose to my fans that two tracks from my ‘Revealed’ album are in Bafang and many other surprises. As the English say ‘Keep Your Eyes Peeled’ Stay Tuned!
