Interview: SYN! New Ghanaian Artiste Blames Ghanaian Musicians “They Don’t Study”!
The Ghanaian Music Industry is blessed with Africa’s most brilliant song writers. One of the newest gifted writers to grace the music scene and ready for mainstream success is a young man known as SYN, born and christened Safwan Alhassan, a twenty something year old graduate of Central University.
The young song writer has labeled Ghanaian musicians as people who don’t want to learn. He also accuses Ghanaian music as being too narrow and chastised musicians for limiting Ghana music to mainstream African boundaries, when it can cross to the world market.
Like many others, SYN discovered his singing abilities at a tender age. Trying to sound different in respect to the genre of music he does. He said: “I can’t specify the genre of music I do but I get my inspiration from any kind of music, any kind of tune, any kind of story I want to tell, I tell in a particular genre and I leave the audience to judge what kind of genre the music is”.
SYN is a Human Resource Management graduate from Central University but wants to pursue music to the fullest. The enthusiastic and dedicated artist is currently in music school studying music intimately and learning how to play some musical instruments, with his preferences on the guitar.
