Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene has stated that it will take a combination of grace, hard work, and connections for a Ghanaian artiste to win a Grammy award.
Speaking on Cape Coast’s Property FM, the ‘Monica’ hitmaker explained that the Ghanaian music industry is still in its early stages, taking “baby steps.”
Kuami Eugene said winning a Grammy will require significant effort.
“When we start talking about the Grammys, it’s clear that it will take a lot for a Ghanaian to win. You have to build a mass following and looking at our population, we are about four times smaller than Nigeria. So, it will take grace, a lot of hard work, and key connections to win the Grammys,” he stated.
He added, “When we talk about the Grammys, we have to acknowledge that we’re still taking baby steps.
“In Ghana, promoting a song often requires an artiste to pay for promotion so how do you expect us to go from here straight to the Grammys, when people demand payment just to get our songs played on the airwaves?”
