Sound engineer and music producer, Wei ye Oteng has propounded that Ghanaians are inconsistent in everything they do, and we always love to copy other people rather than sticking to our own.
Per Mr. Oteng, Ghanaians have good writers, good singers, and good producers, to the extent that People from Nigeria used to learn from us. What he finds sad is the fact that we can’t stick to what we have and make it big just because we don’t appreciate ourselves and what we have. “
Ghanaians are good composers, producers, writers, and singers, but we just don’t appreciate ourselves, and we are so inconsistent. This attitude of ours makes us second in everything, he claimed.
The CEO of Drumlyne Entertainment added that the rate at which we copy is just dreadful and deplorable.” All we love to do is copy. Unless we don’t see someone doing something, we’ll all follow, and it derails us.
Stonebwoy did sobolo,” which is highlife, and all of a sudden every artiste is doing highlife.
The basis of afrobeat is highlife, but now that all of us are doing afrobeat, what is wrong with us? The only region that does not copy is the Northern region, and that’s it”, he fumed.
