Highlife artiste Dada Hafco says if music fans pay more attention to his lyrics, they will discover he is one of the best songwriters in the country.
The singer believes he is not hailed for his composition prowess because he is not regarded as an A-list act.
"If any of the A-list artistes wrote the songs that I write, they would have instant hit", he said, in an interview with Hitz FM's Doreen Avio.
Dada Hafco also blamed the lack of appreciation of talents like himself on the agenda by key industry players to only promote a selected few.
He stated that the fans sometimes may not like a song but are forced to listen because of the composer.
Dada Hafco believes his songs "Yebewu Nti" and also "Our Story" featuring Fameye have been overlooked for 'Songwriter of the Year' during the nomination for the Ghana Music Awards.
"Believe me, if any bigger act penned any of these songs, people would have talked about their impeccable writing skills, but I understand these things.
"There are a lot of players who score crazy and incredible goals but because it's not Messi or Ronaldo, we do not get to see or hear about them, so it is understandable," he said.
Despite his worries about happenings in the industry, the singer is keen on producing more classic songs.
Dada Hafco is currently receiving a lot of buzz for his latest single titled "Are you your boyfriend's girlfriend?"
