Songwriter and musician Emmanuel Kweku Owusu Darlington, has revealed why it is important for musicians to be focused on producing hit songs without depending on industry structures.
According to Kweku Darlington, depending on structures is risky, as they may not be available all the time.
Explaining to KMJ on Prime Morning on Tuesday, he attested to the fact that one does not need to be dependent on something in order to be successful.
"I don’t want to say I don’t care about the structures or something, but then I don’t want to channel my energy into the structures. I just want to do my thing. I don’t really want to think about the structures because I don’t have to depend on something to make me somebody. So, I’ve realized in this industry, when you make it without all these things, you’ll be in the game forever," he explained.
He believes some people who are dependent on industry structures blame their non-existence for failing achieve their goals.
When asked how he is thriving in the music industry, he revealed that he is getting benefits with the help of social media and the internet.
He said, "I’m making money from a lot of places that a lot of musicians don’t know. I was even distributing my songs way before me blowing. There are a lot of things on the internet."
The "Onipa" hit maker urged his fellow musicians to be extra smart because "if not, hunger will kill you."
He also indicated that he is more focused on good lyrics than hit songs. He pleaded with other musicians to stand for something rather than fade out for nothing.
He attributed his point to the fact that the veteran musicians wrote impactful lyrics, which is the reason for their current relevance.
Meanwhile, the Kumasi-based musician released a new song titled "Osama" (meaning "lion"), which is for people who are in love and willing to rescue their loved ones.
Even though it is a love song, he also believes that everyone, including parents and other family members who are willing to fight for their loved ones, can relate to it.
