# **Sarkodie's Call for Investment in Ghanaian Music**

Introduction

Now in my own sense on this particular discussion is that:

Sarkodie does have a point now investing in young artistes as tho some people do in investing in small businesses with the insights that this business actually has a future like he m entioned or compared with the O2 arena, so it's actually vital for the billionaires or high visioned investors in Ghana to take such brave steps seeing the future of music that's very promising.

Not just to the music industry alone, this also brings great impact or gives the world more chances to see how creative Ghanaians are because for one to have created such beautiful music also means that person is creative.

Why Investment Matters

This also have an impact of reducing the crime scenes in that country as well cos when a young artistses dream to be seen and actually no one or those who they look up for help actually doesn't help this actually makes one feel depressed and the need of not continuing and actually involving in crimes rather than chasing their actual dreams nor desires.

The difference the investor makes is that the particular artiste will be filled with hope and feel encouraged and would believe more in their selves and feel confident.

Benefits to Investors and Ghana

And as for the investor, there are more opportunities to benefit from the success of the artiste they support. The O2 Arena is an example of the level of investment and financial backing needed for an artiste to perform on such a major international stage.

Now this would make the country more famous and also more business men or investors would like to do business with them as well.

Nigeria vs Ghana

Just like Nigeria we have billionaires and established figures in that same field of music line but they are still helping out the younger artists eg Olamide, Phyno and Don Jazzy. These are established music figures who also explore younger artists and see potential in them and also carry them along which contributes to Nigeria's higher position when it comes to music charts.

Conclusion

If willing to invest they should try to do more not only in music but also in other small businesses that has potentials.
