Music In Ghana Doesn’t Pay- Stephanie Benson

Singer and songwriter, Stephanie Benson reveals that music in Ghana does not pay as it does elsewhere.

Also, she stated that sometimes she’s shocked when she hears some Ghanaian musicians brag about money. Also, she believes they make such because they might have probably not seen ‘real’ money. Therefore, they are content with either the four or five figures they make down here and call money.

Stephanie Benson about money and musicians in Ghana

The hitmaker is the owner of the Benson Entertainment Production Institute (BEPI). Furthermore, she stated that she knows people who have a lot of money back in the United Kingdom. They can even afford a helipad at the back of their houses. However, they’re not braggarts. Therefore, when she sees Ghanaian musicians brag down here about money, she gets surprised.

Also, she intimated that some of the artistes in Ghana sometimes just get some two million cedis or dollars and begin to brag that they have money. However, to her that is no money. This is because someone may just finish that amount in just a year and not break a sweat over it.

However, she admitted that one can get a lot of money down here only if that particular individual has a very good brand and get more gigs.
