Ghanaian musician Lasmid has called for greater recognition for Ghanaian disc jockeys, describing their contribution to the growth, promotion and visibility of Ghanaian music as one that deserves more appreciation.
The “Biggest Nathaniel” hitmaker reflected on the influence DJs have had on his musical journey, explaining that he grew up listening to DJs who had a unique way of making artistes feel bigger, giving songs wider reach and creating memorable moments for music lovers.
According to Lasmid, many of the moments created by DJs during his formative years played a role in shaping his appreciation for music and, ultimately, the artiste he has become today.
In a social media post, the musician said he sometimes wonders whether Ghanaians have become too accustomed to the work DJs do, resulting in their contribution to the music industry being taken for granted.

He noted that DJs have long served as an important bridge between artistes and audiences, helping songs travel beyond their immediate circles while giving musicians the exposure needed to connect with listeners.
Lasmid stressed that his comments were not directed at any individual but were instead a call for a broader conversation about the value of DJs and the recognition they deserve within Ghana’s music ecosystem.
“Ghanaian DJs deserve their flowers. I grew up listening to DJs who made artists feel bigger, made songs travel further and gave people the soundtrack to their lives. A lot of what I am today was shaped by those moments. Sometimes I feel we’ve become too comfortable taking that contribution for granted.
“I’m not calling anyone out. I just think it’s time we had a real conversation about how much DJs mean to Ghanaian music and how much more they deserve,” he wrote.
