    “I have been funding my music on my own; it is difficult not having a label,” Sarkodie says

    Renowned rapper Sarkodie recently discussed the difficulties of being an independent artist in Ghana.

    The “Otan” hitmaker revealed that he is an independent musician who depends only on funding to create his music. Sarkodie has been financing his own projects without label assistance, frequently taking advance payments from projected sales to cover production costs.

    He talked about how difficult it is to make independent investments in his craft and then get paid after the product is released.

    “For me as an independent artiste I solely depend on getting funding to make my music because it is very tough I don’t have a label I’ve been funding myself since so sometimes I get a upfront on my sales that I’ll be making to be able to make the product and when I make it back and now I can get back to receiving my revenues.”
