Shatta Wale, a reggae dancehall crooner, has pledged to assist and mentor up-and-coming musicians as they launch their careers in the increasingly cutthroat music business.
He claimed in a recent interview with Takoradi’s Empire FM that because he didn’t have the opportunity to get this kind of support when he first started out, he made some avoidable mistakes.
He wants to help young talents avoid making the same errors as a result.
He mentioned, “Gradually, I would just love to support artistes that are really coming up and would wanna do music and take them through orientation of who an artiste should be because we didn’t get the opportunity to go through some orientations. Like if we did, we would not be singing some profane songs here and there, doing some diss tracks here and there,” he stated.
He continued; “My future plans involve identifying emerging talents and offering them guidance to comprehend the music business in Ghana. This initiative is designed to prevent them from repeating the same mistakes that some of us have experienced.”
Fans and other members of the industry have overwhelmingly backed the self-described “Dancehall King’s” claim, and many have praised his commitment to helping up-and-coming musicians.
