A former Ghanaian X factor contestant has cautioned up-and-coming Ghanaian musicians to be precautious on which record label they dedicate their career.

Gifty Louise Agyemang made known that dedicating one's career for management is very significant in the life of an artiste therefore it is not just about the putting of pen to paper but the certainty of fulfilling ones dream and ambitions.

”So many labels will want to work with you and people get excited that a lot of labels want to work with them and they sign any deal. But you have to be careful with who you sign with because sometimes you are basically signing your life away” she said.

According to her, she turned down an opportunity to sign a contract with English Television personality, Simon Cowell after she was kicked out of the X factor competition.

“I actually stayed signing with Simon independently for a little bit and he offered me a contract but it just didn’t seem like what I wanted at that time”, she revealed on 3FM’s Drive Time with Giovanni Caleb.

Gifty originally appeared in X Factor 2015 but was evicted during the bootcamp phase after losing her voice and failing to complete her audition.

She explained that turning down the contract offered by Mr. Cowell was on the grounds of her wanting “to have creative control over what I want to create and the artiste I want to become. So I just decided that if I signed the contract, I won’t be able to do what I want to do.”

Gifty Louise Agyeman moved to the UK from Ghana at age 10.

She returned in 2016 where she emerged 6th in the competition
