Popular Ghanaian musician, Kofi Kinaata, recently shared his perspective on the pursuit of GRAMMY Awards during an interview with Nana Romeo on Accra FM.
Unlike many of his peers who frequently discuss their ambitions of winning a GRAMMY, Kinaata emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication over mere ambition.
“It’s not like I don’t want GRAMMYs. It’s not won by words; it’s rather won by your works. We all play shows abroad… It’s a process. There’s more work to be done at home before we aim for such an award,” Kinaata explained during the interview.
His comments shed light on his belief in tangible accomplishments and consistent effort as the true path to achieving recognition on such a prestigious platform.
He urged the music community to continue working hard, stating, “A lot of musicians are playing shows; let’s keep working. Those who are ripe for GRAMMYs, we will support them, those who are not there yet, we shall get there.”
The GRAMMY Awards, presented by the Recording Academy since 1959, are known as one of the most prestigious accolades in the music industry, recognizing artistic and technical excellence across various genres and categories.
Winners are selected by voting members of the Recording Academy, comprising musicians, producers, and other industry professionals.
