Ghanaian musician Trigmatic has shared the challenges he faced after deciding to shift his focus to making Pan-African-based music.

In an interview with Kofi Hayford on Joy FM’s Drive Time show, Trigmatic discussed the difficulties of transitioning from producing club hits to creating music that promotes self-actualization and Pan-Africanism.

Describing the journey as fulfilling but lonely, the Motromodwo hitmaker revealed that he faced misunderstandings and lost team members who did not support his new direction.

Despite these setbacks, Trigmatic remained committed to his new style of music, inspired by his experience at Nigeria’s Felabration, where he witnessed artists showcasing their passion for African culture.

Trigmatic emphasized the importance of staying true to his vision of making music that informs, educates, and uplifts his audience, even if it meant sacrificing opportunities and relationships with promoters.

He expressed his desire to create timeless music that he can look back on with pride, citing Highlife legend Daddy Lumba as an example of a musician who has maintained a successful career for over three decades.

Although Trigmatic has not received as many performance opportunities on national music platforms, he remains steadfast in his commitment to positively impact music lovers through his music.

His dedication led to the establishment of Osagyefo’s Night, an annual event celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.

The upcoming third edition of Osagyefo’s Night, scheduled for October 4, 2024, will feature African-inspired arts, theatre performances, and live music from Trigmatic and his friends.
