The Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has issued a stern warning to those with ears and willing to hear that soon, the Union would embark on a strike to register its displeasure against television and radio stations operating in the country.
The intended strike according to the Chairman of the Greater Accra regional branch of the Union, Tic Tac, is obliged to prevent television and radio stations from using their works if they (musicians) cannot be paid their worth when their intellectual property is used.
They said even though radio and television stations use their songs to make money on their platforms, what is given to the musicians is too bad and nothing to write home about.
For instance, these stations always adjust their promotion or advertising cards regularly yet the insufficient returns they give to musicians have always been the same and very little.
These stations enrich themselves with monies acquired as the result of using their songs on radio and on tv at the expense of the musicians who own the intellectual property of the songs.
Due to high cost of music production in Ghana, most musicians are living in abject poverty. Some are known to have died as paupers.

Over the weekend, at the luxurious African Regent Hotel in Accra, the Ghana DJ Awards was officially launched at a well attended – strictly by invitation- press conference.
Early this year, the news about an Awards ceremony aimed at rewarding Ghanaian DJ’s was received with mixed feelings. The trouble of recognizing the essence of the awards ceremony had nothing to do with its significance rather its seriousness. Most people who spoke openly about the awards just after the news was made public cited similar awards which did not last its announcement as bases for contemplating on its realness.
Then came in the DJ’s for whom the awards were instituted to reward. Whereas some were excited about the recognition alone, others swept it under the carpet for being another story just to titillate them.

Kwaku Duah known in showbiz as Tic Tac has disclosed to Graphic Showbiz that, even though he is currently with someone, he is still searching for the right woman. Did he really say that?
“Until the wedding bells ring loudly in my ears, I can safely say that I’m still searching for the right woman to settle down with,” Tic Tac said.
Probably, he wanted to say he is with someone and still going through times with her to see if she is the right woman to settle down with; so do not get your hopes up-LADIES!
When was the last time Tic Tac dropped a hit? I cannot really remember anything as recent except apart from his ‘Kangaroo’ which is couple of years go.
All the same, the ‘Philomena Putin-ge’ musician further disclosed to Graphic Showbiz that, he is currently working hard to finish a new album titled ‘Ghana 4 U’. The album has songs like Gallo featuring Gyedu Blay Ambolley, You Got Me Crazy featKey Note and Feel.
