Ghanaians have come under fire from music industry entrepreneur and artist manager George Mensah Britton for undervaluing Bisa KDei’s artistic ability despite his enormous talent.
In an interview with AJ Sarpong and Berla Mundi on TV3 New Day, Britton provided clarification regarding the support of musicians as well as the entertainment sector.
Despite being one of Ghana’s most prominent musical voices, Bisa Kdei has acquired the nickname “funeral singer” due to its appeal, particularly to those attending funerals.

Britton believes the label is unfair and disparaging to Bisa Kdei’s years of hard work and talent.
“One of the artists people really look down on in this country is Bisa Kdei. They tag him as a funeral singer but he is in a lot of top conversations. I mean a few days ago there was Grammy conversation and the only Ghanaian guy whose name was featured was Bisa Kdei,”.
Britton emphasized further that as long as they are prepared to put in the effort, every musician deserves the chance to represent Ghanaian music on a global scale.
“This person deserves it, and another doesn’t” should not exist when it comes to pushing an act internationally. Each person who sees music as a business and wants to take it upon themselves to do it right deserves to be pushed.
