Pae Dae of R2bees disclosed that, they as a group, R2bees make lots of money from online streaming of their songs, and that’s why they don’t worry themselves to be on every stage for performance gigs.
In an interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat, he said,
“Bola, you know something? R2bess, we don’t really care about shows, performance gigs naa, when it comes our way, fine, we would go and play but forcing ourselves to be on every stage is a no-no for us”
He continued,
“We make lots of money from online streams, we have crazy numbers when it comes to online streams, and so we are comfortable with the money that comes from the streaming of our songs on this streaming platforms. To everyone that goes to stream our songs, we are soo grateful. Musicians out there should take streaming very serious.” Pae dae said.
When asked by Bola Ray what makes Nigeria musicians to be far ahead of GH musicians, he said,
“Nigeria is huge, Comparism is making Ghanaians feel our GH musicians are not going anywhere. Take Nigeria out, and you would realise GH musicians are actually putting in the work. Just look at the population of Nigeria- very huge, just look at how Nigerians have been able to spread to other parts of the World.“
He continued,
“GH musicians are not lazy at all, we are very hardworking, and it’s just a matter of time; There is no structure here in our music industry, no investors unlike in Nigeria. In Nigeria, one big man can invest directly into your craft, but this doesn’t happen here in Ghana. We do everything by ourselves, it’s not easy at all, but we will continue to keep pushing.”
