Ghanaian sound engineer William Osafo, popularly known as Willisbeatz, has disclosed that Ghanaian music producers are not financially okay unlike musicians.
Speaking to Graphic Showbiz he said musicians in Ghana would always be richer than sound engineers because the money musicians received from performances could not be compared to what sound engineers receives as studio fees.
“Elsewhere, the money music producers receive for producing hit songs is quite huge and they become rich in no time, compared to the little we make here. Hardly does a music producer get royalty for his work, but one way or another, some musicians receive royalties, although they claim they are not much,” he said.

According to Willisbeatz said some musicians feel reluctant in paying studio fees, but gets paid fully for an event they perform at.
“Most musicians who are friends of the producer may not want to pay the actual amount. Some even want you to work for free,” he explained.
Willisbeatz is known for songs like Sponsor and Maame Hw3 by the late Ebony, Taking Over, Forgetti, Bulletproof, Freedom and Umbrella by Shatta Wale, Sister Afia’s Jeje and Slay Queen, just to mention a few.
