We Must RESET Our Music Industry 

C.E.O of Speech Production Mr. Enock Agyepong writes

Music is more addictive than any drug. The more you ignore it, the more it follows you just like your shadow. Simply put, people will never stop loving music, and as a result, there will always be individuals willing to invest in it.

However, many who have invested in music over the years have seen no returns because the industry lacks proper structures and security for investors.

Many have been bruised and have no intention of ever returning to this industry.

Some have been defamed and disrespected by the very brands they supported.

Others have abandoned music entirely and some have resorted to dog farming whiles others are selling phones.

Yet, instead of fixing the mess, we seem more interested in exploiting the “broken system."

In football, managers cannot simply steal players from another team without facing severe consequences. When a foreign club buys a local player, his former team sometimes even his Colts club gets compensated. FIFA oversees these transactions and regulates football license agents, ensuring a safe and stable environment for investors.

In contrast anyone can walk into a manager's camp in the music industry, and the artist will follow him like a goat. Meanwhile, some managers have also swindled investors who dared to support the industry, making even philanthropists hesitant to help."

No one will invest in such an insecure environment if we don’t strengthened our Creative Arts Agency to curb selfishness in the industry, as well as revitalized Musiga, GAPI and the rest to educate and regulate talents.

"Until then, no one will put their money into such a disorganized industry”.

Talents are wasting daily at an alarming rate, but who will invest in a space where even schnapps and eggs can’t save you?

Not even the courts can protect you in this broken system.

With an industry practitioner now serving as the Substitute Creative Minister we hope the Deputy position will also go to an industry player, an appointment that would earn the President immense respect.

"If this happens and we still fail to fix the industry, then we will have no excuses left.
