My years of doing music has been fruitless – Yaw Sarpong

Legendary gospel musician, Yaw Sarpong has bemoaned lack of benefits in the music business during his prime time years ago.

He said the music was very popular but the benefits that came with it could not much up.

According to him, the benefits were just meagre adding that, he and his colleagues didn’t benefit greatly from their music careers back in the day as compared to today’s music.

“When we started music, it was not the same as it is today. We have not benefitted much as popular as the music itself. My first album is in 1981 and music was not as developed as we have seen today. Even though it has not paid off, whatever little we have today is a result of music.

“A lot of people even those in Arab countries call me…I don’t talk about those from Japan, the USA and many other countries. I know what is ahead of us is greater and I trust God to make a better way” he said in an interview on Kumasi based Angel FM.

He is however hopeful that the future could change his current situation indicating that out of his 27 albums no producer has paid him for anything.
