Trigmatic to musicians: "Naija shouldn't be our benchmark"

 However, Ghanaian rapper Trigmatic doesn't believe that these acts should serve as the standard.

Trigmatic, whose real name is Enoch Nana Yaw Oduro-Agyei, thinks Ghanaian musicians could become well-known internationally and earn a lot of money if they ventured into other markets.

Trigmatic recently stated in an interview with Graphic Showbiz that "our target should be [other countries] instead of pitting Nigerian musicians against ours" because there is a lot of money to be gained there.

"I believe it is time to stop comparing performers from Ghana and Nigeria; I think it is unfair. Ghanaian musicians must identify their target market outside of the country and make an attempt to reach out to their new followers abroad.

"They must relocate to nations like South Africa, Brazil, and Korea and introduce their music to their new admirers there. I am aware that South Americans greatly enjoy and support African music.

"So, for example, Kuami Eugene might target that region and establish himself as relevant to the locals, and trust me, he will succeed quickly and become extremely wealthy as well. We must work with artists from these nations and enlist promoters to spread our tunes there, he said.

Trigmatic acknowledged that if we remain Ghana's local champions, breaking barriers will be challenging.

"Each musician is only considering himself and a select group of pals, unable to see the wider picture while banding together to fight for a shared cause. We don't mind joining a few shows to make some money while avoiding taking advantage of other communities.

"We may band together and address the administration about our grievances and what we require to promote our music. If we don't receive the same kind of support here as we do in some other nations, the best course of action is to band together and voice our concerns," he added.
