President of the Creative Arts Council, Mark Okraku Mantey talks about collective societies. According to him, such societies such as the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO) are not avenues to make musicians rich.<\/p>\n

This is because some musicians expressed concerns about the delay of their royalties from GHAMRO.<\/p>\n

Recently, a former member of the defunct group \u2018Dobble\u2019, Paa Kwesi, in an interview, noted that young musicians are currently not doing music because of GHAMRO.<\/p>\n

Moreover, he alleged that GHAMRO mishandles the royalties of musicians and thus pushing the youth to choose football as a career instead of music.<\/p>\n

However, Okraku Mantey disagreed with this assertion by the singer. He stated that musicians should rather focus on making money through streaming of their songs.<\/p>\n

Mark Okraku Mantey about GHAMRO and avenues for money<\/h4>\n

\u201c\u2026GHAMRO is a bonus. It is not the place where artistes make their core monies from. Collective societies are not the places that can make you rich. It is the streams that bring the money. You will see lightweights that have one or two songs blaming GHAMRO for being poor\u2026,\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
