Speaking in an exclusive interview with Daily Graphic, the veteran crooner, emphasized the emergence of new trends in sound engineering and music production, urging stakeholders to blend contemporary and traditional elements to adjust with international standards.

The President of MUSIGA, to a greater extent advocated an ideal shift and innovative approach in music production, stressing that such a move would play major roles in improving the overall quality of music coming from Ghana.

“Talking about whether the sound or the music around is good, I will say no because there are some sounds that are not up to scratch; but I think with time, we can fix it because now MUSIGA is planning to do a lot of work.

“We have sound engineers who have been very good and can even do better for our industry. But I will say we are now in a digital era, and it’s different from the olden days when we had very limited options. Now it is much easier and with very little effort, we can tap into both the traditional and modern-day platforms to improve upon our sound production to boost the quality of music we do,” he said.
