Rex Omar on how doomed creative arts is in Ghana

“There is one aspect of our development that we are neglecting. Here in Ghana, if you are blessed by God with a talent for creativity, because of our backwardness you’re doomed. Actor, musician, poet, whatever you’re doomed. Society abuse our work. They waste your time and want more from you.

Someone can be a lawyer a doctor and can do whatever and no one talks about them but as a musician, people want to know how you left your life”
