Ghanaian musician, Denning Edem Hotor who is widely known as Ayigbe Edem has recounted some bitter moments when music promoters wanted to downplay him because he sings in Ewe language.
According to Edem, some promoters wanted to pay him meagre amounts because of his Ewe brand.
In his submission in a recent interview on Hitz FM, he said
“No radio station knows that I have sat in meetings where people want to pay me less because I am an Ewe-speaking artist. No one has walked in my shoes.
When I closed my deal with Glo, Sherifa Guru and I were the least paid. Tinny and Asem were paid more.” Edem disclosed on the show.
Edem is an indigene of Dzogadze which is a small town in Abor, in the Volta Region of Ghana.
During the earlier stages of his career, Edem spent most of his youth in Accra and Aflao. He completed his primary and Junior High education at the Amazing Love International Schools. As a product of the secondary school system in Ghana, he enrolled in Bishop Herman College for his senior high school education.
