Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician, Nana Agyeman
Veteran Ghanaian highlife musician Nana Agyeman has noted that making music today is far easier compared to how it was in his time.
Speaking in an interview on Adom TV, the highlife artiste noted that modern-day musicians are now able to make songs from the comfort of their homes.
“I notice that creating music has become much easier these days. Nowadays, you can make music right from your bedroom, and as a result, many people choose to stay in their rooms to work on their songs,” he said.
Sharing his experiences from the earlier days of his career, Nana Agyeman explained that making music used to be a more tedious process that required mentorship from old folks and collaboration with sound engineers before a song could be finalised.
“In the past, music creation wasn’t as straightforward. Before recording a song, you would often have to present it to someone knowledgeable about music, like an elderly mentor, who could help you refine it. Alternatively, you would visit a studio to collaborate with an engineer and share ideas,” he stated.
He emphasised the drastic change in how music is produced today, stating that technology has streamlined the entire process and made it possible for artistes to create multiple songs in a single day.
“Now, you can simply create music and send it to an engineer for the finishing touches. Now, it’s possible to produce about ten songs in a single day,” he added.
