For
several times, questions have been raised about the existence of a music
industry in Ghana. Popular artists, E.L and C-Real, just to mention a few have
clearly noted the non-existence of the industry which some people boast of. To
clear all doubts, let’s digest the matter to know the end products.

of all, what is a music industry? And what makes a music industry functional? A
music industry basically consists of companies and individuals that make money
by creating and selling music. A lot of professionals come together to make
this possible. Such people include artists, instrumentalists, producers, sound
engineers, publishers, marketers, distributors, promoters, entertainment
lawyers, and so on.
