Award-winning Ghanaian singer, Adina Thembi, has shared her thoughts on what she would change about the country’s music industry if given the opportunity.

Speaking in an interview on MX24 on March 3, 2026, Adina stated that although the industry is gradually progressing, she believes its growth could be accelerated to make things easier for musicians.

“If I had the chance to change anything in the industry, I would speed up the growth. We’re growing as an industry. I will speed it up a little more to make things easier for musicians. This is our world and our 9-5,” she said.

According to her, the lack of certain resources and technologies in Ghana affects the productivity and overall performance of artistes.

“Some of the things we haven’t in this part of the world gotten yet, turn out to affect productivity. When we look outside, we see technologies that we don’t have yet,” she shared.

Adina cited advancements in stage technology as an example, explaining how modern microphones used internationally can be programmed to suit an artiste’s voice for enhanced performance quality.

“For instance, microphones nowadays on stage can be programmed to suit the artistes’ voice, and they sound beautiful,” she noted.

Adina added, “When we watch international shows, we see how great some artistes sound and we can also sound so great. We don’t have that technology yet, but I wish we had so that we can also catch up.”
