Nigerian music promoter and broadcaster, Adesope Olajide, popularly known as Shopsydoo, has urged Ghanaian musicians to promote their music in Nigeria if they want to gain proper recognition internationally.
During an interview with Hitz FM Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz and Shopsydoo pointed out some importance and opportunities in the international space if Ghanaian artists reach out to others to gain recognition.
The music promoter further stated that, after a song is released in Nigeria, the next target to make sales is Ghana, because Nigerians see Accra as the biggest city in Africa.
“A lot of Nigerians see Accra as the next biggest city in Africa to go and promote their song. So once you release a song in Lagos Nigeria, the next thing that comes to your mind is to travel to Accra to promote your songs.”
He urged Ghanaian artists to see Lagos as the next biggest city to promote their songs immediately its released.
“When you drop your music in Ghana, see Lagos as your next city to promote your music and things will get better.”
He emphasized the fact that Ghanaians have not paid rapt attention to the genre of music their people prefer but, Ghanaians like Afrobeats, which is the main reason why Nigerians promote their music.
“Not only is Accra a major selling point for African music and Afrobeats but it also has the largest concentration of media platforms across its city”, he claimed.
