Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has called for the introduction of licensing requirements for musicians to help bring structure to Ghana’s creative arts industry.
Speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM, the musician said establishing clear criteria for becoming a licensed musician would make the industry more professional and respected.
According to him, the initiative is not about generating revenue but about building a serious and well-structured creative sector.
Shatta Wale suggested that similar licensing requirements could also be applied to content creators, pundits, and radio presenters to ensure professionalism.
He argued that such measures would help regulate the industry and discourage irresponsible public statements.
The artiste noted that structured systems in other countries have helped musicians better understand the industry and take their craft more seriously.
