Renowned Ghanaian Reggae and Dancehall artist, AK Songstress has voiced her concerns about what she perceives as an unfair booking trend for December concerts, particularly when it comes to female artists.
According to the versatile singer, bookings for December in Ghana concerts are unfair. She expressed her disappointment, pointing out that despite the immense talent and contribution of Ghanaian female musicians to the music industry, they often face challenges securing prominent slots in the lineup for December events.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Property FM’s Amansan Krakye on Saturday, December 9, 2023, the ‘Secret Admirer’ hitmaker opined that most of the concerts are not fairly represented by female artistes.
“In terms of the bookings for shows especially this December in Ghana is not a fair representation for the females in the music scene. But if you have to face facts too just like you said the males outnumber us in the showbiz industry so in everything those who are many always dominate,” she stated
The music sensation further said; “We’re trying our best and we’re not many in the game so I think the organizers also have certain things they consider before booking artistes for their events. Maybe in terms of female artists they think it’s only one that they can book on a show but it’s unfortunate that most of the shows are male dominated.”
