Ghanaian rapper, Elorm Adablah widely known as EL has revealed that there isn’t one artiste in Ghana who can boldly say he or she only survives with just music without doing any side jobs.
“Music is just a means to an end. You cannot leave a legacy through music. It is actually the businesses you use your music for. How much can you sell an album or a song in Ghana? Any artiste who says he made a fortune only through music is a liar,” he said in a recent interview.
EL further revealed that, it doesn’t matter the number of shows the artistes did, disclosing that not even the many shows Ghanaian artistes brag of can bring them such huge money.
“Forget about the shows because I have mounted every show in Ghana and they doesn’t pay that much. The money we get from shows is peanuts; it only lasts for a month or two.
No artiste in Ghana can tell me he built a house or made a big fortune with an album or a particular song. I challenge any musician to come and contest me. It is how you direct your music into other businesses,” he said.
