The entertainment industry in Ghana is undoubtedly choked and for an artiste to penetrate and get to the top, he or she need strategies and sometimes industry insiders to help in promotions.
Now, this is the case of Zylofon Music signee, Kumi Guitar who made everyone in the conference room of Zylofon Media completely emotional when he humbly went on his knees to plead with Ghanaian bloggers to promote his music.
From all indications, Kumi Guitar’s music isn’t making waves as expected and looking at the huge investment that has gone into his music by Zylofon Media, the Highlife artiste had no option than to plead with bloggers to help push his music and brand in order to prove his worth to the record label.
“I’m not ashamed to kneel. If there is anything more to be done, I’m ready to do it…I’m pleading with you, I want to see myself out there. I want Ghanaians to accept me and support my brand,” Kumi Guitar cried out.
The manager of Kumi Guitar, Nana Poku aka Ashes adding his voice to the humble appeal said:
“Really and truly, our industry needs help. Kumi begged on behalf of everybody. We need you people. The artiste will release the music but you are the ones who will make or unmake the music. I know you get money based on the traffic on your blog but all we’re saying is we beg you. If you willingly decide to help our industry, we can go places”.
Some of the songs released by Kumi Guitar are, ‘Scriptures’, ‘Dream’, ‘Problem’, and ‘Brown Sugar’ and his next song ‘Betweener’ is set to be released soon.

Wow,people need to patronize him.
THIS IS GOOD MUSIC AND AM WONDERING WHY ITS NOT BEING PROMOTED. SOME OTHER MUSIC ON THE MARKET IS PURE THRASH AND YET THEY GET MUCH PUBLICITY! THIS IS A MYSTERY THAT ONLY GOD KNOWS!! MR KUMI GUITAR, DON'T GIVE UP, KEEP PRAYING AND WORKING HARD ONE DAY YOU WILL HIT THE JACKPOT!!
Loved your music especially the beats well crafted. You will go far.
I don't know why his songs are not making waves in Ghana. His songs are really great but they lack air-play. Who is managing him? I will fire him this minute because he is not helping his career. Such a great talent and we are not seeing much of him. Very Bad!!!
Master, if your lyrics don't make sense or stimulate or emotions, we won't patronize it. We don't want any garbage. Holding a guitar does not make your music good. Please write better songs.
I have listened to all Kumi's songs and they are blameless. I think the problem is people expect money before they will play his music because of his link with Zylofono. That's not helping his career. He's an asset and if you really know music you can tell. I hope he will keep on fighting and will not loose hope
This guy sings good and I really like his music, actually your music is beyond this current generation.
You can't just make any music and expect us to patronize.
This is STUP!D. Is he not signed on Zylofone? Really? What is the record label doing about this. It only means he either churns out fool1sh music or zylofon has no idea wy they signed him on
aaaaa..... we Ghanaians have taste for good music ooo so if u don't work hard to bring good songs out.... . hmmmm it will be hard to promote you bro.
