London-based Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist and sound engineer Kwame Yeboah has disclosed that he does not get called to help in the Ghanaian Music Industry.
Speaking on Citi TV’s lifestyle variety show, Upside Down, the keyboardist and music director for Kojo Antwi told the host Ato Kwamina and Frema Adunyame even though he wishes to contribute more to the Ghanaian music industry, he seldom receives any invitation to this regard.
“I think people like me should be working in this industry or at least be helping in this industry. I don’t think I get called to help” he said.
Asked if this was borne out of the perception about the sternness and discipline that comes with his work, he said it could be a factor because he does not settle for mediocrity.
“I think work-wise I would be seen as a difficult person because I’m strict with work and people here are not that strict with work and besides I don’t subscribe to comments like let’s manage it. I think people say let’s take it as it is which I don’t take things as they are otherwise I won’t be able to play with all the people I worked with,” he added.
Kwame Yeboah relocated to the United Kingdom after he received an invitation to work with award-winning British urban artiste Ms Dynamite, which was accompanied by many numerous TV appearance and live shows.
He also worked with many British artists such as Scott, Rhian Benson, Mis-Teeq, R’nB’ Garage heartthrob and Craig David who he recently accompanied on his 2013 World Tour.
Some Ghanaian musicians he has worked with are Kojo Antwi, Osibisa, Pat Thomas, M.anifest, Kwabena Kwabena, Efya, Becca, Sonnie Badu, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, among others.
