Kuami Eugene bemoans the fact that the industry only helps one artist at a time while ignoring others.
Kuami Eugene, a highlife musician, has voiced his worries about the music industry's inability to sustain multiple artists at once.
'Daybreak Hitz' on Hitz FM featured an interview in which he made these statements.
Kuami Eugene mentioned a few explanations for why it seems like Ghana's music business is struggling while Nigeria's is thriving.
He pointed out that Nigeria gains from having access to better instruments and having the capacity to create music of a higher caliber. Furthermore, more investors who are eager to promote local talent are drawn to the area due to its larger population.
The musician underlined that in order to promote Ghanaian music domestically, stakeholders must work together. He made the observation that native music is prioritized in Nigeria, but foreign music is frequently preferred in Ghana.
"We were asking some friends why they didn't play Ghanaian music while I was in Nigeria. Already, they have several artists. Therefore, the time is up before they have finished playing their own music. I only had one song from Ghana while I was there, and I heard it around two in the morning. They're cramped," Kuami Eugene remarked.
He bemoaned the state of affairs in Ghana, where despite many artists consistently making music, the system seemed to support only one at a time. According to Kuami Eugene, there is a chance to back
"It's not as though we only release one song at a time in our nation. More people are putting out music. However, there is potential for additional artists, and our system only supports one at a time," he said.
Kuami Eugene noted that female musicians in the nation are especially guilty of this behavior.
Even on the female side, it's depressing. Five women producing waves at once is not possible. For a very long period, there should only be one lady. And then there's another girl, still crawling, still creeping. till they find room for her.
Before we notice another female crawling, she will remain there for a while. But in our nation, female musicians have produced quality music. However, I wish things weren't that way," he said.
Kuami Eugene urged more widespread support for all artists, denouncing needless trolling on social media and highlighting the value of promoting one another's accomplishments rather than exchanging disparaging remarks online.
