D Black
Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD) is the right person to be elected as President of the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA), Desmond Kwesi Blackmore, better known by his stage name D-Black has said.
2019 is an election year for MUSIGA and the race to replace Bice Osei Kuffour is getting competitive with some notable members of the organisation filing for the position.
Speaking on the Class Drive on Class91.3FM in an interview with Prince Benjamin, D-Black was of the view that currently he sees KOD as the person who can bring transformation to the music sector.
“There are some names in my head but if they are ready to dedicate their time and their energy towards MUSIGA and music, I think someone like KOD, he has been the artiste manager, he has worked with producers, he understands music, he is a TV personality and radio host and he understands the entertainment industry,” he argued.
He continued: “He [KOD] has been on the various fields, he has been the manager for Wutah, he has been the event coordinator for Nescafe African Revelation, he understands business, so, if he is going to stand or run for MUSIGA [President], I will be solidly behind him”.
Highlighting some attributes which, in his view, any MUSIGA President should possess, D-Black stated: “I think whoever should lead MUSIGA has to be a very selfless individual and have some business IQ and must be ready to drop whatever they are doing in their lives and their career”.
Apart from KOD, D-Black said: “Someone like Trigmatic, I think he understands music and has that kind of business IQ and this intelligent guy, Edem, as well”.
