Andrew Comey Otoo famed as Mr. Drew has revealed that most musicians are not terribly broke because of the novel coronavirus which has gripped the world’s economy and also put an unexpected halt to all enetariemnt activities.
Speaking in an interview with Adwoa Loud on GhOne TV, Mr. Drew said that the ban on social gatherings which has inevitably led to the cancelation of music concerts has now become a pain in the a$$ for all music artists because n Ghana here, most of them generate their monies from shows.
He also addressed the fact that musicians are not being paid when their songs are being played on the radio and also they are not being paid their royalties.
I’m not doing okay, especially this part of Africa where we benefit a lot from shows instead of streams; because the people here don’t buy music they just download online for free and we are not being paid when our songs are played on radio, we are not getting royalties and this is something we need to fix
