Stonebwoy shares his hopes for other talented African artistes to receive the same level of recognition and opportunities as Nigerian artistes
The astonishing growth of the Nigerian music industry has been commended by Ghanaian singer Stonebwoy, who attributes it to the persistence and unwavering dedication shown by Nigerian musicians.
On the well-known radio program “Sway In The Morning,” Stonebwoy spoke passionately about the extensive and varied African music scene.
Stonebwoy asserted that the development of the industry is obviously influenced by Nigeria’s large population, but he also emphasized the importance of Nigerian musicians’ tenacity, aggression, and work ethic.
Nigerian artists have become well-known throughout Africa and beyond because to their unwavering winning attitude and rigorous work ethic.
“I don’t want to cause no ciaos but when you come to the whole of Africa, Nigeria pushes the most and you can find Nigerians been very popular around the African continent in different countries but you might not find other African artist very popular as Nigerians are in Nigeria.”
While praising Nigeria’s achievements, Stonebwoy highlighted that other African nations should take a page out of Nigeria’s book and give their musicians the attention they deserve.
To advance the country’s music industry, he urged his fellow Ghanaians to advocate and support Ghanaian artists in the same way that Nigerians do.
“I have been calling out all the people to know their artist, you are Ghanaian make sure your Ghanaian artist is the ultimate priority because of course from the blue print, a Nigerians top priority is a Nigerian artist so that the way we can all emulate and to be able to keep doing some of the things that they have been doing of course their number is huge therefore they have the power, number force, attitude and business mindedness but that does not mean other Africans does not come out to those venues, so basically I think it’s a grind, one day at a time” he said.
He urged other musicians to adopt the same perseverance and commitment shown by their Nigerian counterparts in order to have a good influence on the African music industry.
