Dancehall musician Abrewa Nana, a female from Ghana, has voiced her concerns regarding the media’s classification of and preference for “A-List” performers, claiming that this is impeding the development of Ghana’s music business by not providing equal opportunities for others.
Abrewa Nana also emphasized the difficulties Ghanaian musicians encounter in gaining recognition for their work domestically. Despite performing well-known songs from around the world, she claimed that the industry makes it tough for local musicians to become well-known for their releases.
The best way to project Ghanaian music, according to Abrewa Nana, is to give it greater importance than songs from other nations. She urged the industry to support Ghanaian music. She said that 20% of songs should be combined and 80% should be Ghanaian music.
Abrewa Nana urged record labels, lawmakers, and business leaders to intervene to remove barriers that hinder musicians, particularly up-and-coming ones, from achieving success.
Abrewa Nana is a certified public accountant with a passion for music. She rose to fame as the first female hip-hop artist in the predominantly male field.
