I wish we would have classes every Saturday for artistes – Shatta Wale

Music giant and entrepreneur, Shatta Wale, has once again expressed his deepest wishes that Saturday classes should be organized in Ghana for all musicians to attend.

He made this known during an interview with Rev. Erskine on the Y-Leaderboard Series segment of the Myd-Morning Radio Show. Explaining his reason for this wish, he stated that most of the Ghanaian artistes do not know the music business and need to attend Saturday classes as a way of orientation to the music business.

“I wish every Saturday, we’ll even do artistes classes in Ghana because most of the artists don’t even know their jobs. You’ll see an artist come out today and tomorrow you’ll hear he has left his manager. We’ve all faced that thing before but it’s because we don’t have any orientation to this business.

For instance, when you were coming to YFM, they gave you a small room with a microphone to do a little practice and show what you can do, then they assess you but we don’t have it so we tend to watch TV and YouTube, and want to be stars”, he said.

Shatta Wale with he’s usual motivation encouraged artistes to be themselves and be as real as they can be, as that is what has helped him to grow and meet legendary and renowned people.

“I can choose to wear a suit and look like a Mexican drug cartel or I can choose to dress gangster and that is me.

“I always want to be me because anybody who loves me for me will approach me and that has brought me this far. I’ve met big men in Ghana. The only thing they tell me is that I’m real and that is why they like me. People want people who are real like that”, the dancehall king advised.
