Expert Calls For Change, Old Musician To Catalogue Artist – Bnoskka
Ghana’s music industry is poised for transformation as experts push for improved showbiz reporting and respectful terminology. At the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) 50th Anniversary celebration, Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr., Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba’s Department of Music Education, and Bnoskka, Creative Arts Business and Intellectual Property Consultant, emphasized the need for industry education.
Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr., who also a champion of the American Music Mentorship Program and National Expert for UNESCO Aschberg Program-Ghana, stressed that showbiz on radio and television stations requires in-depth knowledge of the music industry.
“Showbiz reporters and presenters need to understand the nuances of the industry, including copyright laws, royalties, and artist management,” Arhin Jnr. explained. “This knowledge gap leads to misinformation and disrespect towards artists.”
Rethinking Terminology: From ‘Old Musician’ to ‘Catalogue Artist’ Bnoskka, Vice Chairman of MUSIGA Accra branch, echoed his expert call for change in terminology by advocating for the replacement of the term “old musician” with “Catalogue Artist.” Bnoskka calls for this change while delivering his solidarity message at MUSIGA at 50 Anniversary lunch on 7th November, 2024 at Accra Tourist Information Centre.
“This change in terminology will promote respect and recognition for experienced musicians, shifting the focus from age to their valuable contributions,” Bnoskka said.
MUSIGA’s President, Bessa Simon reaffirmed the organization’s dedication to industry growth and development.
According Bessa Simon MUSIGA president acknowledges “We appreciate the expertise and insights shared by Benjamin Oduro Arhin Jnr. and Bnoskka. We will continue to work towards creating a vibrant and respected music industry in Ghana.”
As Ghana’s music industry continues to evolve, the call for industry education, respectful terminology, and collaboration resonates loudly. By embracing change and fostering a culture of respect, Ghana’s music industry can thrive, benefiting both local and international artists.

Lack of “Moneycetamol” Leads to Prostitution, Frustration, Insomnia, and Even Death – Pastor Jakes Tetteh
In a poignant and thought-provoking address, Pastor Jakes Tetteh, founder of Redeemed Kingdom Gospel Church at Botwe Third Gate, has shed light on the crippling effects of financial struggles on individuals and society. Borrowing the term “Moneycetamol, from award winning female musician, Shatana’s new song, Pastor Tetteh vividly illustrates the relief that financial stability brings to our lives, likening it to a potent painkiller that soothes the aches of poverty.
Pastor Tetteh’s stark warning comes amidst a growing national conversation about the song “Moneycetamol” by musician Shatana, which has sparked intense debates within churches and beyond. With unflinching candor, Pastor Tetteh emphasizes that the absence of financial stability is a toxic cocktail that can lead to the commodification of the human body through prostitution, the suffocating grip of frustration and despair, the relentless terror of insomnia and sleepless nights and the devastating finality of death.
As the cost of living continues its relentless ascent, leaving countless individuals on the precipice of desperation, Pastor Tetteh’s message serves as a clarion call to society. He urges us to seek not only divine intervention but also financial empowerment, recognizing that economic stability is the bedrock upon which we build our mortal lives.
Pastor Tetteh’s words resonate deeply with those who face the harsh realities of economic hardship daily. His message is a poignant reminder that financial instability is not merely an economic issue but a moral and mental one, with far-reaching consequences that imperil our very well-being.
Listen to Pastor Tetteh’s exact words from the video below.
In the current ghanaian music space, it will be unfair to give all credit to artists without acknowledging the efforts of music producers.
One producer whom we can not turn a blind eye to his recent works is Wodzrah George, widely known as Joe Kole. From the days of Flowking Stone through to the era of King Paluta and Amerado.
The champion music producer, Joe Kole, has proven to be a timeless producer; recently being behind 80% of hit songs in ghana and being a core influence in the rise of kumerican music vibe.
Top artists such as Strongman, King Paluta, Amerado, Sista Afia, Eno Barony, Rap Father .etc are now big names because of his genius production.
There is no doubt he is a legendary producer and needs to be remembered, applauded, and most importantly, awarded in the coming TGMA.
Rap heavyweight; Eno Barony is out with No Manual album, and Joe Kole produced most of the songs on it.
Joe Kole has shown signs of never slowing down, we hope TGMA acknowledges him. To know him more, you can follow him on
