“We’re in a digital revolution and it is very important we use the tools offered by the digital age to monetise our talents in the Ghanaian music industry. The value of the glob­al economy is in digitalisation and when we say we need to promote our talent, then we need to go digital as that is where the money is.

We need the GMX streaming app for the local empowerment of our industry. If you look at the digital revolution in the world, you’re either a developer of apps or a user. The developers are those who make mon­ey and the users pay. So, it is very important to have local ownership of these apps.

The Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mr Andrew Egyapa Mercer, who was present at the launch pro­nounced GMX as a revolution in the Ghanaian music landscape.

“In Ghana, music is our heartbeat, a channel through which we express our story, tradition and help unite communities. As we launch GMX, it is a celebration of our media heritage and the showcasing of our range of artistes,” he said.
