Renowned songwriter and vocalist, Afriyie Wutah, has boldly stated that the majority of Ghanaian artists are ill-suited for the global stage due to their focus on entertainment rather than musicianship.
Speaking on Onua Weekend Party with DJ Willie, Wutah stated, “I think the major problem now is we are grooming more entertainers than musicians, most of our current crop of artistes are entertainers, they are not musicians.”
The talented vocalist shed light on the challenges facing the Ghanaian music industry and proposed potential solutions.
Wutah emphasized the lackluster performances of many musicians during live shows, stressing the importance of delivering a captivating performance as a virtuoso.
It is undeniable that numerous Ghanaian artists have struggled to provide exceptional performances at award shows, concerts, and other events. This has led to widespread dissatisfaction among Ghanaians, who have called on these artists to learn from their counterparts across the continent and beyond.
Afriyie Wutah, formerly part of the duo Wutah, is renowned for his exceptional vocal abilities and has made significant contributions to the growth of the Ghanaian music industry for over a decade. Throughout his career, he has gifted Ghanaians with a plethora of memorable songs, including ‘Lala’, ‘The One’, ‘Lover of my Life’, ‘Cheers to Life’, and ‘Here to Stay’.
