Our Artistes Are Doing Exceptionally Well – Zylofon Music

The establishment of Zylofon Media few years ago has been a major blessing to Ghana’s entertainment industry according to some industrial players.

However, the company has faced some major criticisms by some Ghanaians who believe it is rather retarding the success of their artistes.

According to some entertainment critics, artistes signed onto the label were doing well previously. However, they’re no more active after joining the label.

This has become a major topic for some people who believe that the label is not doing what it actually claims to be doing.

But the communications Director of Zylofon Music, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo has discredited that assertion as a misconception.

According to him, the mission of the label is to support artistes to have local dominance as well as international appeal.

Some of the artistes, he stated had had an appreciable level of success before joining the label. Adding that the label is committed to giving them the best resources to go even higher.

“I don’t know and I have not heard of any of our artistes complaining about conditions. Besides, they are provided with all the resources they require to succeed. They are well placed and their welfare is catered for. That is the desire of every musician.

“However, we haven’t lost sight of the fact that our artistes need to make great gains in their career and that is what we are doing now. For instance, Kumi Guitar’s brand has been given a makeover from when he joined the label.

“The likes of Obibini, Becca, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy and even Joyce Blessing are performing remarkably but we can’t expect the success rates of all the artistes to be at par. I admit there’s more room for improvement,

but this is a gradual process and eventually, things will fall in place,” he said.

In line with its pledge to provide the best of resources for its artistes, Zylofon Music has acquired new offices. These offices according to the company would also house its signees. Furthermore, Arnold says this falls within the label’s aim of becoming the biggest record label in Africa and beyond.

“It is unfortunate that people are wishing for the downfall of an entity which has come to the aid of artistes. That is very unfair because when Zylofon makes a lot of gains,

it will definitely attract other worthy investors to the industry.” He added.
