Ghanaian musician, Ded Buddy is calling for more royalty collection agencies to compete with the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO). He believes that competition will lead to better service and more accountability for artists.
In an interview with Graphic, Ded Buddy expressed his frustration with the lack of transparency and efficiency in GHAMRO’s operations. He stated that many musicians have not been receiving their rightful royalties and called for a change in the system.
Ded Buddy’s comments come at a time when there is growing concern among Ghanaian artists about the effectiveness of GHAMRO. Many musicians have complained about the difficulty in accessing their royalties and the lack of clarity in the organization’s distribution process.
The musician advocates for the establishment of alternative royalty collection agencies to provide artists with more options and create a competitive environment that will ultimately benefit musicians.
He believes that having multiple agencies will force GHAMRO to improve its services and ensure that artists receive fair compensation for their work.
Ded Buddy’s call for competition in the royalty collection sector reflects the need for greater accountability and efficiency in the Ghanaian music industry.
Artists need to have access to reliable and transparent systems for collecting their royalties, and the establishment of alternative agencies could be the catalyst for positive change in this regard.
As the debate over GHAMRO’s effectiveness continues, it is clear that there is a growing consensus among Ghanaian artists about the need for reform in the royalty collection sector.
With Ded Buddy’s call for competition, this issue will likely remain at the forefront of discussions within the music industry for the foreseeable future.
