– –<\/span> The \u2018In Ghana\u2019 hitmaker said originality should be the watchword of every Ghanaian artist but sadly most of them have made \u2018copy and paste\u2019 their modus operandi. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen doing music, you don\u2019t have to do it like someone else or copy what somebody is doing\u201d, Rocky Dawuni said in a recent interview. <\/p>\n He mentioned that his nominations have been consistent because he stayed original to his craft which has given him a distinctive persona musically. <\/p>\n – –<\/span> \u201cMy style is not pure reggae music, it is called afro root. It is a style I mix with Highlife, Afrobeat, and different mixed together. So if you are doing music, you don\u2019t have to do it as someone else or copy what somebody is doing. When you do that, you won\u2019t make it\u201d,\u00a0he explained.<\/p>\n So what I\u2019m saying is that you can\u2019t copy somebody\u2019s style and make it yours. Of course, you can\u2019t do it better than the originator of the style so you have to create your own and that is what will make people know that you also have something unique to offer\u201d,\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n – –<\/span> He also cited Highlife legends like Nana Kwame Ampadu and Apofo Agyei as having a great influence on his craft.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I began I was inspired by people like Nana Ampadu, and Ampofo Adjei, all of these people inspired me before Jamaican music came. So when you listen to me critically, it is a fusion of all these styles\u201d,\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n SOURCE: www.Ghbase.com<\/strong><\/p>\n – –<\/span> – – Rocky Dawuni has shed light on his perpetual recognition on the international stage although most Ghanaians are yet to fully appreciate his works locally following his third Grammy nomination.
