Wendy Shay captivates music fans when she is featured by Haiti’s top music sensation, K-Dilak.
She didn’t let the negative vibe affect her, which she confirmed was due to the sadness and shock of Ebony’s death and her subsequent signing with Ruff Town Records.
The ‘Habibi’ hitmaker stated that these circumstances worked in her favor because every artist craved attention, and she was fortunate to be receiving it at the moment, for better or worse.
“Living in a country where I thought racism was a thing, I raised my eyebrows when I got the same treatment from people.
“But also came at the right time for my career. Everything that I had achieved is very pivotal on the time I came into the industry.
“It is every artiste’s prayer to get attention and I got the attention whether good or bad, and given that opportunity, I didn’t play with it. When life throws lemon at you, you just make lemonades,” she stated
