Award-winning Highlife musician Kofi Kinaata advised emerging artists during his Cape Coast Asaase Radio interview with Akosua Tilly. The performer urged musicians to concentrate on skill development rather than voicing complaints about industry rejection. Many young artists express frustration about being excluded from performance opportunities and event lineups. Kinaata believes such grievances distract from artistic growth.
The musician emphasized that talented performers with strong visibility naturally secure major platform positions. He questioned why emerging artists continue facing these challenges when dedication should resolve them. Kinaata referenced Sarkodie as an example, noting that events held in the rapper's neighborhood automatically feature his performances. The artist recommended that musicians maintain consistent work habits and allow their musical output to demonstrate their capabilities rather than relying on criticism to advance their careers.
