A well-known Ghanaian music industry pundit, Enock Agyapong has made a statement urging Ghanaian musicians to take notes from Grammy-nominated reggae artist Rocky Dawuni in an interview with Obaapa Janee on ”Ahotor mmre”
Agyepong spoke enthusiastically on the show, suggesting that Dawuni’s career path is an insightful guide for Ghanaian artists aiming to achieve international recognition, such as Grammy nominations.
”Rocky Dawuni’s dedication, artistry, and work ethic have taken him to heights that many Ghanaian musicians can only dream of,” he remarked.
“His four Grammy nominations weren’t just a stroke of luck—they stem from strategic planning, effective branding, and a clear musical direction. It’s time for us to take lessons from him instead of merely hoping for a ‘miracle nomination.’”
He emphasized that Dawuni’s unique blend of African heritage and global appeal enables him to connect with audiences around the world, consistently elevating Ghana’s presence in the music world.
Agyepong urged artists to stop being satisfied with local acclaim and to look to Dawuni as a model for achieving Grammy recognition.
He further elaborated on the significance of combining quality with strategy, stating, “Dawuni remains authentic to his roots while crafting music that has universal appeal, which is precisely what international music awards like the Grammys seek.”
