He claims that a number of obstacles, such as a lack of supportive laws, infrastructure, and resources, have hindered the ascent of Ghanaian musicians on the cutthroat international scene.

The crooner who is entering the scene clarified that these ongoing obstacles have kept big international music firms from supporting and investing in Ghana's music sector.

In a Facebook post today, Shatta Wale voiced similar worries and urged the urgent need to enhance intellectual property rights and licensing, invest in contemporary infrastructure, and reform legislative frameworks in order to address these problems and alter the current narrative.

“It is time for us to work together to create an enabling environment that attracts major global investments and propels our music industry to unprecedented heights, contributing to our national identity and economy," part of the post reads.

“Thinking aloud on a Tuesday afternoon!!!

I write this with deep concern about the challenges that have prevented major global music industries from investing and partnering with our beloved industry in Ghana. It is clear that the lack of conducive policies, infrastructure, and resources have hindered our growth and potential on the international stage.

We must urgently address this by improving regulatory frameworks, investing in modern infrastructure, and strengthening intellectual property rights and licensing. It is time for us to work together to create an enabling environment that attracts major global investments and propels our music industry to unprecedented heights, contributing to our national identity and economy.

Let us rally together as stakeholders in the Ghanaian music industry and collaborate to open the doors of opportunity for our industry. By any means necessary, we need to put in efforts to make sure our music is heard globally as Ghanaians.

Let’s act now and fast (sic)”.
