Music streaming in Ghana low because of expensive data

Artsite Manager, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson known popularly as Bulldog believes music streaming suffers in Ghana because data is too expensive.

He says apart from data being expensive, Ghana has one of the worst internet in the world so it’s difficult for music lovers to even stream music online.

Bulldog was speaking on Accra-based TV3 when he made this known.

“Nobody is sitting in Tarkwa or wherever where the network is even bad there will stream your music. Look we are in Accra and you know Accra is the hub and everybody make wild dey go find something. How many people will be streaming music?

But out there, let’s say in the other regions if they are relaxing and they want to stream music the thing will not even stream and you’ll see nor kpa your 10 cedis worth of data is gone. Who will try that thing?

Let’s talk about the matters and these are facts. Check your streams and you’ll know all is from outside. If you check, the reason why we don’t stream our music is because data is expensive. If the artistes are genuine with their analytics, they will tell you that most of their streams are from outside. Ghanaians living in the diaspora,” he said.
