The global music industry thrives on collaborations, bridging cultures and expanding artistic influence. However, recent revelations from Silent Addy, a Jamaican music producer, suggest that Ghanaian artists may be missing out on a golden opportunity.
Silent Addy, alongside Disconeil007, produced the track Shake It to the Max by Ghanaian-American singer Moliy. The song has garnered attention internationally, particularly in Jamaica, where artists have been eager to jump on the riddim. However, Silent Addy revealed in a social media post that no Ghanaian artist has reached out for a collaboration, despite the producers’ openness to working with them.
This revelation has sparked discussion within the Ghanaian music industry. Given the international success of Ghanaian genres like Afrobeats and Highlife, it raises the question: Why aren’t Ghanaian artists seizing this opportunity? Is it a lack of awareness, industry politics, or simply hesitation in reaching out?
Moliy, known for her distinct sound and collaborations with global artists, is creating waves, and this track could be another avenue for Ghanaian artists to gain exposure in new markets. The Jamaican music scene, with its strong global influence, could provide a valuable platform for Ghanaian talent.
Silent Addy’s message is clear: the door is open. It’s now up to Ghanaian artists to take the initiative and claim their space on the riddim. With the right artist, this collaboration could be another milestone in strengthening the Ghana-Jamaica music connection.
So, who from Ghana should jump on this track? Will it be a mainstream act like Stonebwoy, or will an emerging artist take the lead? The opportunity is there—let’s see who grabs it!
