Latest Ruff Town Records darling girl, Wendy Shay, known in real life as Wendy Abena Ofosuhemaa Asiamah Addo has opened up on the reason she decide to choose a foreign stage name despite the many options available to her.

Speaking in an interview with Abeiku Santana on UTV’s ‘Atuu’ Show, the ‘Uber Driver’ singer revealed that the name Shay was from a kid’s programme which aired on TV called iCarly.

She said that her dad died when she was two-years-old and had to relocate to Germany with her mother and younger sister.

The Bedroom Commando’ singer added that she fell in love with the main character of iCarly, called Carly Shay known in real life as Miranda Cosgrove, leaving her with no option than to adopt that name to christen herself Wendy Shay.

In the wide-ranging interview, Wendy Shay revealed that only a few people knew her real name since many people referred to her as Wendy Shay.

She added that she received her education in Germany and went through the ransk to pass out as a professional nurse but now pursues a career in music.

Not too long ago, Wendy Shay’s younger sister dancing to her latest song, ‘Bedroom Commando’ and fans applauded her slick dance moves.

Wendy Shay has taken the music industry in Ghana by storm after she was signed by late Ebony Reigns’ manager, Bullet.
