Ghanaian musician, Ofori Amponsah has urged upcoming artists to cultivate an investment culture.
The musician believes this is crucial in ensuring some level of wealth beyond the craft.
Recounting his story in an interview with Zion Felix, Ofori Amponsah narrated how he used to spend lavishly from money he made during his breakthrough period.
He said he was advised by veteran singer Daddy Lumba to channel those resources into putting up buildings among other projects.
"I started with nice houses with jacuzzies and everything and invited my girls to have fun. One day. he [Daddy Lumba] asked what I do with my money and I told him I bought cars. He then directed me to move elsewhere [boys' quarters].
"It was the day I moved into the boys' quarters that I first learned the lesson of investing in buildings.
He explained that the music journey can be an erratic one, and it is only right to save and prepare for a rainy day.
"Today, I was listening to a song I composed 20 years ago which is still on rotation on radio and everywhere. Only a few of us have those blessings. So if you make something small, invest in something or else you may regret it someday,” he said.
