Ghanaian artiste Keeny Ice has expressed his disappointment in Ghana's music industry for not giving him the necessary attention he deserves.
Speaking to DJ Slim and Doreen Avio in an interview on Daybreak Hitz, he said he believes the hard work he puts into his music business has not reflected in the results he gets.
"The industry has not been fair to Keeny Ice. I am speaking for myself. Over the years, the industry has not bee fair to me. And I am saying this not as someone who is lazy sitting somewhere and trying to nag. Over the years you've seen my work. You've seen the impact I have had," he said while touting the strides he has made in the music industry.
He said around 2017, he was already getting huge visibility on media platforms in Nigeria, touring Lagos and putting his craft out there.
According to Keeny Ice, even Nigerian artiste Victor AD's first international stint was a song he (Keeny) did and put him on.
He added that he is one of the top artistes in the Volta Region who has a cult following and annual concert.
"I started putting up my own show since 2015. That was even when I hadn't gone professional with the music. I was just in my formative years. In 2015 I was still filling up venues and all that," Keeny Ice noted.
He also complained about how after topping charts in Ghana, it had to take him about 8 years before getting Unsung Artiste nomination in the Ghana Music Awards. According to him, he even qualified to have made it to the Afrobeats song of the Year is the 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards but that slot also eluded him.
Keeny Ice has songs such as 'Deja Vu', 'Sound Check', 'My Way', 'Hedze', 'Steeze', 'Aya', among others.
His new EP 'Ice Cold' is due for release on May 30, 2025.
