Ghana’s Music Industry Is Unsafe - Trigmatic

Trigmatic has lamented on the terrible state of things in the Ghanaian industry.

The musician, composer and songwriter explicitly stated that the industry is now unsafe for creatives who invent new things in the media space.

According to him, laws need to be put in place to guard artistes.

Without these laws, there can be no growth, he ascertained.

“I think musicians are doing very well but the system is really crippling and it is not safe. A lot of people complain that there are no investors in the music industry but like I said earlier, no one will be willing to invest in an unsafe environment.

Ghana’s music industry is unsafe such that there is nothing to show that one will make profits if he or she invests in the music industry. As a businessman, I don’t need to understand what you do. I need to come and look at the facts and look at the data to know how much profit I will make when I invest. Every businessman looks at the numbers”.

This he said while speaking to Doctar Cann on the ‘Ayekoo After Drive show

Trigmatic further praised those who have been thriving in the entertainment industry up until now.

He maintained that everyone who has made something of herself in the Ghanaian industry space now is extraordinary because of the hostile conditions.

“I respect Ghana musicians because they are working in a very difficult environment. I recently travelled to South Africa and when I look at the systems in place and the systems we have here locally, musicians are really doing well.

"For them to still remain musicians it is not easy and when I say musicians it is not just performers or vocalists, everyone especially the instrumentalists have gone through a lot because they are not out there for people to see."

"Even now if performers are affected greatly, how much more them [instrumentalists],” he concluded.
