Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has called for musicians to have licenses. He believes this will bring more order to Ghana's creative arts industry.
According to Shatta Wale, clear rules for becoming a licensed musician would make the industry more professional. This initiative could also increase respect for musicians.
He shared these views on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM.
The musician stated that licensing would set standards for those entering the music profession.
This move, he explained, could help identify genuine artists and those who are not serious about their craft.
He mentioned that people who are not musically gifted often find their way into the industry.
Shatta Wale feels that licensing would ensure only qualified individuals become professional musicians.
This would help to elevate the status of the music industry in Ghana.
