Reflecting on his musical career, Ben Brako discussed his evolution within the industry and the sources of his inspiration.
He fondly recalled his early days as a budding musician, noting how effortlessly the lyrics of his popular songs came to fruition.
“I composed many of my songs in Ghana, during my university days, before relocating to the UK. These songs eventually became some of my biggest hits,” he shared.
Acknowledging the dynamic nature of the music industry, Brako emphasised the importance of strategic partnerships for its growth.
He expressed a belief that Ghanaians should unite to champion local music, viewing this responsibility as one that extends beyond industry professionals.
Ben Brako also touched on broader societal issues, lamenting the neglect of creative arts industry, the Ghanaian economy and its populace.
He attributed the prevalence of illegal mining (galamsey) to the failure of leaders to value and preserve Ghanaian customs and culture.
