Producers’ Q&A is a platform where questions are put to Ghanaian Music Producers by the general public either to seek clarity or even gain information but above all , to create awareness of the Ghanaian music industry from the  Ghanaian producer’s perspective.

[fancyheading textcolor=”#0e3591″ heading=”h2″ align=”textcenter”]QUESTION #4:  FREE BEATS/SESSIONS [/fancyheading]

We asked Ghanaian Music Producers their take on requests for free beats/sessions  and here are their responses:

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”600″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Fortune Dane”]Artistes get pissed off when they are paid half the amount for a performance,  so they shouldn’t expect a producer to give them free production. [/blockquote][/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”797″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”King Of Accra”] Artists who ask of free beats and studio sessions are not serious to me because they will not invest 100,000 into a video if they cant invest 4000 into a song or studio work. That means that they will just be playing with your beats.

 

If they really want to do music they will know that studio runs on electricity and not soups.  I have seen artistes who are up coming ,coming to the studio swagged up costing about GH4000 in clothing and jewelry , yet,  be begging for discount on a song.

 

Producers have to give work out to people who will know the beats worth because that beat can deliver you and your family from lack, so if you just give it to anyone for free then you are throwing away your future, even if they are paying for the beat make sure they are going to be doing something good with it so 4000 is charged ,then make sure they going to shoot a video and then it will be on tv, then you can still take your royalties because its on tv and radio and on deezer and other places to generate revenue.

[/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1449″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Seshi”]I think its not bad to give out free beats to an act who will help elevate your brand . At a point ( not always tho) associating your name to a particular act raises your level of credibility.

 

Studio sessions? I ask ” what do we do when i’m working for you and my prepaid runs out …?” Should I use my money ??

[/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1318″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Guilty Beatz”]  I don’t agree with artistes who want free beat especially main stream. They got the money to pay for sessions but they won’t because they feel they doing the producer a favor [/blockquote][/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1474″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”TubhaniBeatz”]

I have 3 reasons why i will give a free beat.
You need to be in at least 3.

* If the artiste has a wide fan base I want to tap into.

* If I have other plans of working with the artiste on my project or my recording artiste’s project later .. ( For free )

* If the artiste effectively promotes his songs

* If the artiste is super talented
And the reverse is why u should pay me for the production.

[/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1251″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Drumroll”]

A beatmaker/producer could spend hours(days), trying to figure out melodies, finding the right drums and snares that would work, the bass, types of instrument for what , arrangements ,mix etc. and a clients walks into your studio, hears 2-3mins of flawless composition and thinks its okay to just say “WOW!! This is “dope” Email this to me”…FOR FREE!?
If that’s not disrespect, i dont know what is. Its disrespect to the art most of all and disrespect to me as a fellow artist. 
After a series of such scenarios, you cannot expect any producer to be enthusiastic about their work knowing its not putting food on the table or crediting their electricity prepaid balance.
If producers got paid for all their hardwork, you would find us setting up our own studios, buying proper equipment to better our workflow and even help out underground artists who are less privileged to afford pay for studio sessions. Eventually this aids the Ghanaian music industry become better than its current state.

 [/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”541″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Ssnowbeatz”]It Depends, u know “the system is hard”,if the artiste is an upcoming artiste,well… its okay, throw out some free beats, but its annoying when the artiste is a main stream musician who can afford it and still pleads for free beat.. Not cool.. [/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”796″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Two-Bars”]Sometimes its very disheartening because I dont know whether the some Artiste forget that we also have bills to pay.

 

Sometimes you have to “pay your dues” by giving out free beats or studio sessions but they should at least realize that we also have bills to pay. lol [/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1085″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”DennyMadeit”]I think artistes who ask for free beats are just not doing the right thing because producers already do not get enough credit.

 

However, I think the idea of free beats should come from a producer who will want to work with an artist due to the artist being well devoted to his/her craft and is constantly working to improve upon it.

 

In my view, if you’re an artist, you have to work hard enough for a producer to like you. That’s the only way I think the idea of free beats is acceptable. Because the Ghanaian music industry doesn’t take much care of producers as it does for artistes. [/blockquote] [/four_fifth_last]

[fancyheading textcolor=”#0e3591″ heading=”h2″ align=”textcenter”]QUESTION #3: 2015 ACHIEVEMENTS [/fancyheading]

We asked Ghanaian Music Producers their greatest achievements for the year 2015  and here are their responses:

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1961″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Fortune Dane”]I got to work with international acts (I’m not allowed to disclose their identity ) all thanks to Sarkodie and my fan base. 

 

I also achieved a great deal of respect from few of the top notches running the music industry  [/blockquote][/four_fifth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fifth][artist postid=”1251″][/one_fifth]

[four_fifth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Drumroll”]

The night at E.L’s BAR2 concert when he performed All Black would have to be it for me.Even before the show i met people who would spaz after finding out i was Drumroll  (Thanks to  Kuvie). I even overheard people say they came to the show because of “All Black”.

 

 Then that beat i produced in the corner of my living room with an earpiece started playing… the whole building went ballistic. I was at the top floor watching people that were outside roll back in, the screams, comments like “Herh this track, EL do all, Drumroll be sick”. You could barely hear El, Pappy & Joey’s voices as the crowd practically recited all three verses through each hook & chorus. 

 

Never a more accomplishing moment so far in my journey as a producer.

Secondly , i was also on Coptic’s album this year (Rising Stars Of GH Vol. IV).

 

I have tracks coming way out of Gambia and Jamaica , and from November through to January next year, the real body of work should be out.

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”797″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”King Of Accra”] Yes, certainly . I sacrificed a lot to become a producer. First of all my time and secondly ,  all my money. 

 

I had to sit on my behind and practice for hours. Before that, i had to frown on outing and be at hush hush studios every time Hammer had a session so as to learn and pick inspiration from him on the first hand basis.

 

Then it got to a time when i had to pick up courage and start on my own. I had to spend years practicing in order to get my ideas up, its all about time and money spending. Spending money on gears like midi controllers and mpc’s are necessities because they help you get in the zone and feel like a producer. When you are just clicking, the feel is not there but its mostly time because you could have someone buy all these for you, but without time to practice you will just be full of nothing or sound like the trending beats.

 

Thats how i became a producer and my mentors heard of me from where they were.  To add to this , i  had to spend time again to go see certain people for knowledge if they had time to spare: you have to go to where the knowledge is.

I wont mention though  .

 

 Mostly time and certain privileges had to be sacrificed

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1474″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”TubhaniBeatz”]Yes, i had to sacrifice my study in Information Technology to do music production full time. 

 

I was doing very well there (School) but the passion was with music. [/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1251″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Drumroll”]I sacrificed a comfortable life to be a producer. I apologise,  i can’t go much into detail. 

 

What i can tell you is my mother had and still has so much faith in what i wanted to achieve she entrusted me with a huge sum to kick start my life as a musician and not even a producer because i didn’t even know the first thing about using FL studio then (2010/11). 

 

That capital could probably have taken me abroad to study in some big music school and make my comeback as certified producer or musician. I guess we’ll never know now.

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1085″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”DennyMadeit”]Well, for sacrifice , i think to become a good producer, you need to devote a lot of time to develop your craft and expose your work to other producers in order to get better. [/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”420″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Kiddie Beatz”]Definitely time and money. I stay up for longer hours just to practice or learn something new ,as well as trying to keep in constant touch with a few producers such as Drumroll , itzCJ , King Of Accra and Peewee to gain more knowledge. I usually end up sleeping very late and waking up tired , but hey ! , the passion keeps me going.

 

 Secondly in all sincerity , i didn’t think that basic music production equipment would be very expensive. I had to use almost every penny i had saved up to get started. While my mates were buying TV’s , clothes and “pimping” their rooms, i was buying a Midi Keyboard , mixer , sound card and even waking up one morning to find out my laptop had been stolen ! [/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[fancyheading textcolor=”#0e3591″ heading=”h2″ align=”textcenter”]QUESTION #1: THE CHALLENGES [/fancyheading]

We asked what challenges Ghanaian Music Producers faced in the Ghanaian Music Industry and this is what they had to say:

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1449″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Seshi”]Challenges ?

 

1. The absence of active of laid down laws that protect the intellectual properties of producers.


2. The absence of a royalty system.


3. Absence of a tracking system like Nielsen Soundscan.


4. Artiste refusal to pay properly or at all. [/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”797″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”King Of Accra”]Music producers face many challenges. 

 

The first would be getting paid their due and this pertains to Ghanaian music. In my experience, when people approach you for work they want it cheap or for nothing. Big artistes let the fact that they get free beats get to their heads and they make it known to upcomers. They also expect to get work done for free. It’s not like when they sell a million copies of the tune you produced , you would see 1/4 of it because they never make any such agreements on paper. 

 

Another problem would be Knowing the legal aspects of production.  I bet many people do not know that if they make a beat , they have automatically written a song and are entitled to a fraction of sales due to their contribution on the work of art. I would advice producers to get lawyers and know the business aspect of making music and getting their worth from royalties because, your  kids will come and enjoy your royalties even after your demise.

 

In General, i think  the problems producers face will decrease if they learn.[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1318″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Guilty Beatz”]One major issue is royalties. I think unless a producer has an artiste solely working with him or her. Once there’s loyalty between the two, when the artiste blows up , the producer will enjoy as much.[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1474″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”TubhaniBeatz”]

We are not paid enough for all the work we do.

 

Imagine a single producer making beats , recording , mixing and mastering a song and then getting paid less than GHC300. Some even get paid less. Also, music producers don’t enjoy any form of royalty when a song they produce becomes a hit. The recording artiste takes all the money and credit.

[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”1251″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Drumroll”]Disrespect!!..to be blunt. Producers are disrespected everyday because our talents to create is taken lightly hence the situation of artistes not paying for our services. 

 

 If producers got paid for all their hardwork, you would find us setting up our own studios, buying proper equipment to better our workflow and even help out underground artists who are less privileged to afford paying for studio sessions.

[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”541″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Ssnowbeatz”]The common challenge music producers encounter is not getting the chance to exhibit their talent , especially if that producer is an upcoming producer.[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

[divider style=”fat” bordercolor=”#2291b3″]

[one_fourth][artist postid=”796″][/one_fourth]

[three_fourth_last][blockquote align=”justify” cite=”Two-Bars”]Personally, I think the only problem that producers face in Ghana is the inability of the artiste to recognize and appreciate them.

 

 For instance, if you want to give an artiste a beat and you call him/her, the kind of behaviour they put up is really embarrassing.They make it seem like you’re begging them to be on your beats. Some artistes forget that these are the same beats that give them the hit songs. [/blockquote][/three_fourth_last]

The challenges we face as producers in Ghana has to do with appreciation, encouragement and endorsements.We don’t get enough props from the general public for most of our hard work.[/blockquote] [/three_fourth_last]

DJ Keyzzz is steadily gaining the reputation amongst her peers as one of the most talented and focused female DJs in Ghana. She was recently featured in The Africa Report magazine as one of the few women on the continent changing perceptions about female DJs.

Just a couple weeks after performing at Ghana’s only Electronic Music festival, Future Fest, she releases 2 live sets dubbed Skank Life and Trap Keyzuz. She describes her sound as mainly electronic focusing on genres like Drum and Bass, Dubstep, Trap and Dutch House and is one of the few DJs pioneering an electronic music culture in her home country. She brings that energy through in her mixes, live showcases and festival appearances. 

[djmixlist postid=”1689″][djmixlist postid=”1693″]

 

She currently works with Accra Dot Alt as one of their on-call DJs and has played festivals such as the ChaleWote Street Art Festival and Sabolai Radio music festival (formerly Indie Fuse). She also plays at the Republic Bar in Accra, a spot well noted for it’s great alternative music and ambience. 

DJ Keyzzz is the founder and creator of Beat Phreaks, a brand that spotlights talent and showcases Artistes, Dancers, DJs and Producers that are breaking grounds in their respective art-forms.

THE TITLE “SUMMER AND HAIR”

DennyMadeIt releases his first ever Beat Tape titled “Summer and Hair” on the 26th August 2015.

According to DennyMadeIt, “Summer and Hair” was a pretty simple title to choose as he actually had plans of  growing an Afro during summer,  an idea his mother disliked as she thought he wouldn’t look like a “Good Boy”.

INSPIRATION

[blockquote align=”center” cite=”DennyMadeIt” animation=”bounce”]It was mainly based on the fact that i didn’t have one all this while[/blockquote]

 

EXPECTATIONS

DennyMadeIt hopes “Summer and Hair” will appeal to everyone and  break the notion that only “Music People” enjoy listening to just beats. He there approached the beat tape in a way that there will be something for every music listener to enjoy.
