Spent the early hours of the afternoon pouring into the minds of numerous stakeholders at the MTN Digital Music Conference, speaking on music, monetization, branding, ownership and building longevity in an industry that changes every day.
There is no greater feeling than turning years of experience, wins, losses and lessons into value for other stars, creatives, investors and entrepreneurs.
Thank you to MTN Ghana for the invitation.
Thank you MTN Ghana also for creating such an important platform. Knowledge is the new luxury and ownership is the new superstar status.
We keep building. We keep elevating.
Yes boss !!🥂

Honored to have been hosted at the residence of the Swiss Ambassador by the ambassador herself H.E. Simone Giger 🇨🇠@gigersimone for an interesting and diversely impactful conversation on culture, music, innovation, and global collaboration.
From the launch of the Enjoyment Radio @enjoyment_radio app to amplifying Ghanaian content on the world stage, we explored how music, tech, and storytelling can position Ghana as a true creative powerhouse globally.
We also touched on the future of hospitality involving @lamaisonghana & @infinitehospitalitygh as well as host of other hospitality spots including the new @ghastro_ opening in Ghana and also the importance of building bridges between the Swiss and Ghanaian creative industries for long-term growth and opportunity.
Great vibes discussing music, culture, and shared passion for the arts—because at the end of the day, creativity connects us all.
Honored to have been part of a powerful conversation at the @usembassyghana U.S. Embassy in Accra last Wednesday , speaking on “Building a Business Empire through Afrobeats and Hip-Hop.” With Afrofuture’s @khadijat_el and Flip The Music and manager of Gyakie @electromirror .
Moments like this remind me how far the culture has come—and how much further we can take it.
Afrobeats and hip-hop are no longer just genres; they are global economic forces. What stood out most was how African artists are reclaiming these sounds through language, innovation and community—owning our narratives in ways that resonate worldwide. With Africa’s young population, the creative potential on the continent is unmatched and still largely untapped.
I’ve found a few ways to expand my brand with @blackavenuemuzik@livewireeventsgh@clubicongh@oasisloungegh@lamaisonghana and now the launch of the powerhouse @enjoyment_radio transmitting Ghanaian content worldwide 24/7.
We also touched on something crucial: success isn’t just about numbers or charts. True wealth is measured by impact—how many lives we uplift, how many doors we open. That’s why building independent, family-led business structures is so important. Ownership protects creativity and ensures we aren’t trapped in exploitative systems.
Finally, the future lies in collaboration. Strong, sustainable creative bridges between Africa and America can unlock shared prosperity and redefine the global entertainment landscape.
Grateful for the platform, the dialogue, and the responsibility to keep pushing the culture forward. The mission continues. Big moves by @mistameister and @jambospaces 🇬đź‡

Gave a talk at the MTN head office a few days ago at their digital music conference on why Ghamro and Musiga need total reform. Why artists, producers and creatives need education in ownership of masters, publishing, copyright and more. The need for accountability and digitization in Royalty collection before today’s and yesterday’s creatives can put trust in these entities including Cosga. 🤞🏾

D-Black’s arrival at MTN Ghana Head Office ahead of his speech at the @mtnghana digital music conference
GHAMRO Must Step Up — “Artists Need Transparency, Not Excuses”
D-Black’s speech also threw a subtle but sharp challenge at GHAMRO, Ghana’s main royalty collection body.
Without mincing words, he questioned why many musicians still do not clearly understand: • how royalties are calculated, • where their collections come from, • how distributions are made, • and why there is still little digital transparency in 2026.
His stance was simple — Ghanaian creatives can no longer be expected to trust systems they do not understand and cannot monitor.
Ghamro has registered content of mine and collected royalties for over a decade via Capasso in South Africa without my knowledge.
According to D-Black, in an era where music can be uploaded globally within seconds, there should equally be smart digital systems that allow artistes to register songs, monitor usage, track royalty statements and access reports without physically moving from office to office in Ghana.
“We are in a tech age. You should be able to upload your music without physically going to offices,” he charged. 
Industry watchers online say this is one of the loudest public calls yet for GHAMRO to modernize its operations and communicate more effectively with rights holders.
