The singer of “Forgetting Me” admitted during the exclusive conversation that she had stopped singing during that time because of a shattered heart.
“My heart was broken,” she said to the shock of host, AJ.

Efya also revealed that she has worked nonstop in the music business for 15 years without taking a break.
She actively performed on many shows throughout this prolonged period, consistently representing her art.
“Also, I’ve been working for 15 years without break and in between these times I’ve been performing on all the shows and still representing. And I think I gave everyone their feature,” she concluded.
