Usually, artists are given all the credit for composing music, but there are a lot of music professionals who come together to make it a success. Such people include songwriters, vocalists, samplers, sound engineers, instrumentalists and digital beatmakers. A lot goes into music than how we see or hear it. Somehow this fact can be disputed because these days credit is given to producers & engineers in parentheses, but then, what about others such as keyboardists, guitarists and other instrument players including percussionists who contribute to making songs soulful? In this digital age, where one person can sit and create a complete song solely, it’s not seen as quite important to delve deep into production credits. However, for a project like Sarkodie’s “Mary” which is a live album, one can’t overlook the details as the instrumentalists & backing vocalists played a major role in the project. I present to you the full production credits of “Mary”:

With some few years to make up a decade, musician extraordinaire, Sarkodie has never failed to appear on our television sets and be on our radio. The musical legend has been continually dropping hits after hits, building himself as the greatest musical brand, influencing the youth heavily and opening the door to the hall of fame. The rapper’s attention has been on the youth for a while now, with a few oldies having an eye on him, although almost every inhabitant knows him. After dropping 3 solid albums, Sarkodie decides to dedicate an album to his late grandmother Mary Lokko who kicked the bucket in 2012. He does it in a grandstyle, fusing genres that’ll encompass almost every typical Ghanaian’s favourite, thus Hip-Life and High-Life. In various interviews, the “Illuminati” hitmaker has emphasized how his grandmother advised him to do live music, when she was alive. Known by real name Michael Owusu, he heeds granny’s advice and provides Ghana with refreshing food for the soul, Mary Album.
