MOLIY Wanted to Be ‘Heard in the Club’ — So She Made ‘Shake It to the Max’ & Got Everyone From J-Hope to Davido Dancing
The “Shake It To The Max (FLY)” singer is Billboard’s African Rookie of the Month for June.
MOLIY grew up around all kinds of music: Her mother owned a restaurant/bar called The Gomeries right next to their house that played Céline Dion, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston all night long. Months after dropping her introspective, Afro-fusion debut EP Wondergirl, MOLIY garnered buzz in 2020 when she appeared on fellow Ghanaian artist Amaarae ’s Afropop bop “Sad Girlz Luv Money.” The remix, featuring Kali Uchis, reached No. Billboard spoke with June’s African Rookie of the Month about reflecting on the success of “Sad Girlz Luv Money,” creating a more “upbeat and energetic” vibe with “Shake It to the Max,” officially meeting Vybz Kartel after performing with him at his first U.S. show in 20 years, and anticipating the remix with him and Stefflon Don.
