Two times Grammy Awards nominee, Rocky Dawuni has revealed that working with another artist on a joint project does not boil down to who is a veteran or a newcomer in the industry.
The Reggae icon mentioned that he’s presently working with a new corp of artistes representing the new school while adding that collaboration to him is all about who is creative and has the vibe.
According to him, once a song appeals to him, the artiste’s status does not really matter.
“There is no hierarchy for me so far as music is concerned. Actually, I have personally reached out to Fancy Gadam, Kofi Jamar and KiDi for collaborations and there is nothing to be shy about. These musicians are doing amazingly well and I feel so proud to work with them.
“Music is not about a veteran musician feeling big in his shoes to do collaborations with young artistes. I believe in creativity and once an artiste is creative, I will work with you.
“I have reached out to musicians who are not even mainstream artistes and that is because I loved the song they put out. However, if the song is not okay, there is no way I will jump on it no matter the relationship I have with the artiste,” he told Graphic Showbiz in a recent interview.
Rocky Dawuni also bemoaned the attitude of event organizers deliberately ignoring high-profile artistes like himself and going in for those who have a hit song in the present time.
