Akwaboah stressed in the video that rather than waiting for government support, artistes should take the initiative to invest in their profession, promote their work, and work with others.

Akwaboah warned musicians not to anticipate favours or interventions from the government, expressing his opinion that not enough has been done to help the creative arts business.

Instead, he advocated for the government to establish regulations, infrastructure, and tax breaks that would encourage the industry's expansion.

He said in the interview:

"I encourage every musician out there to find ways to accomplish your goals instead of expecting someone else to do it for you. Waiting for someone to enter government and fix the showbiz industry or address your concerns will be a futile effort

The Posti Me crooner said he preferred being a vocalist to an instrumentalist because of the thrill of performing live.

Mr Drew and Jupitar were both present during the interview. Watch below.
