Ghanaian dancehall star, Stonebwoy has said the advent of social media has helped musicians in the promotion of their music to a larger audience.[ads2]
According to the BHIM Nation President, the introduction of social media has made it much easier for musicians to have a hit song unlike the decades ago when artistes rely solely on the traditional media before theirs songs get to the populace.
“With the advent of social media, it’s easy to get a hit song today than when we started. Some people started before us. And what you are doing now, someone has done it before. If you look up to me, know this, I started way back”, Stonebwoy said in an interview on Onua FM.[ads3]
The multiple award-winning musician however seized the opportunity to advise the young musicians to inculcate in them the spirit of hard work in order to reach the highest stage of their career.
“I’m a hustler, and I still hustle. I’ve suffered and still suffer because of where I want to be. By God’s grace, things are better and more beautiful now. So, remember this, I did not make it within a year. I released my first song in the year 2006. That’s when I completed Senior high school.
” It’s been hard work, determination, and prayers. So don’t lose hope. Keep on and use any avenue you have. Like social media, because in our time there was no such thing, our social media was being a hustler. Now social media is doing the magic, people listen to music via Tik Tok,” Stonebwoy concluded.[ads4]
