Kankan Bizin, the frontman of Dark Suburb, a Ghanaian alternative rock band, has expressed his concerns about the current state of the music industry in Ghana. In an interview with Joy News, he highlighted the industry’s failure to fully utilize available technical and business expertise.
Bizin pointed out that musicians in Ghana are often expected to take on roles beyond their musical talents, such as managing and promoting their own work.
