Look, fame matters but fame matters when you live in your parents\u2019 house because they pay the bills. You realize fame is nothing when you start paying your own bills. When you have a lot to take care of, you\u2019ll realize you can\u2019t eat fame.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost boys are making the whole thing so cheap\u2026 When it gets to the time people are not taking them serious again, that is when they complain that a certain artiste has been unfair to them, they paid them nothing despite helping to produce a hit for them,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>Oteng advised his colleagues not to depend on only music production for their living.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is more to what we do than music. If most people are ready to open their minds and not get stuck in the studio, they will know there is more that we have to offer. You can venture into advertising, get yourself with any of these places they play live band, be the engineer and you can make money. Keep making money from other sides. Forget mass production for fame,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Oteng has worked with top notch artistes in Ghana and is one of the most revered record producers, abrantepa.com can state.<\/p>\n<p>He has produced hit songs including Sidney\u2019s \u2018Kpongor\u2019; Obrafour\u2019s \u2018Odasani\u2019, \u2018Odo Electric\u2019; Trigmatic\u2019s \u2018Wo Sika Nti\u2019, \u2018Motromodwo; Obour\u2019s \u2018Single Ladies\u2019 and Koo Ntakra\u2019s \u2018M\u2019akoma\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: -1 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 21 December 2017 Source: www.abrantepa.com 2017-12-21 Renowned record producer, Justice Oteng, is known in showbiz as Wei ye Oteng Renowned record producer, Justice Oteng, known in showbiz as Wei ye Oteng has observed that most of the country\u2019s music producers and sound engineers fail to put on their thinking caps in their [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":448938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-448937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
