Why artistes having song writers is not bad

Popular entertainment pundit and music analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, in a chat with YEN.com.gh, spoke on the topic of songwriting and was of the view that artists having songwriters was not a bad thing and should not be shamed for it. He said:

"It is never bad to have songwriters. Songwriters are part of the process of making music. Some of the biggest records in the world were not fully written or even written by the performers. I believe we should encourage people to be honest about having songwriters if they didn’t do it alone so others can appreciate the craft of weaving records together."
