Actor and Musician, Lil Win has narrated bitter experiences of being a musician. According to him, it’s not easy to get a hit song.
He added that an Artiste Would Take time to write songs, fix the date, shoot a video and the moment he releases the song, something will happen to take the shine away.
Speaking in an interview with SVTV Arica, he said,
“Since I left to the USA, I’ve heard a lot of issues going on in Ghana. I’ve heard pastors passing defamatory comments, a chief been murdered in the Ashanti region and a lot of issues. So now in Ghana, the moment an artist releases a song, something will happen to take away the needed the attention the song deserves. I don’t know who does that, the artiste will take his time to write songs, fix the date, shoot a video and the moment he releases the song, something will happen to take the shine away.”
“For me, I’m okay with it, but it is disturbing my fellow artiste because me, I’m a movie actor, and God being so good, people watch my movies but my fellow artiste rely on music for their daily bread, they invest a lot into their craft, so after releasing a song and it doesn’t get the needed attention due to all these issues, it becomes a waste of resources and time, which is bad.”
Asked how does these unfortunate happenings in Ghana affect the music industry, the Kumawood actor pointed out that;
“The attention shifts away from the song. Imagine about ten thousand people have queued for ticket to a show and all of a sudden, there is a fight near the place, do you think all the ten thousand people will still be there? No! they will leave and when the fight is over, and the love for the show is there, they’ll return.”
