Unexpectedly, Kuami Eugene said in an interview with Cape Coast-based Property FM that a Ghanaian singer would need to win a Grammy with poise, tenacity, and solid industry connections. &#8220;We should be aware that we are currently making baby steps when discussing the Grammys, and even in Ghana, promoting a song requires an artist to pay for promotion.&#8221;&#8221;He said,&#8221; The 2020 TGMA Artiste of the Year spoke on the current status of the Ghanaian music industry, pointing out that even basic advertising frequently necessitates financial investment from artists.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nHow do you think we&#8217;ll get from here to the Grammys when people want to be paid before our songs are played on the radio?It will take a lot of work to win at the Grammys for a Ghanaian because you have to get the people together when we start these Grammys conversations. He also said, According to Kuami Eugene, whose real name is Eugene Kwame Marfo, &#8220;And looking at our population we are about four times or more the size of Nigeria and so it will take grace, so much work and connections to win the Grammys.&#8221; Despite our progress, Kuami Eugene said that we still have a long way to go before we can truly compete on the global stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This blog is managed by the content creator and not GhanaWeb, its affiliates, or employees.
