Three-time Grammy Award nominee Rocky Dawuni has lamented that Ghanaian event organizers refuse to book him for shows despite his international fame.
Even though he has had three Grammy nominations and has resided in Ghana for the past four years, the Ghanaian international reggae musician believes he still doesn’t understand why promoters don’t book him.
Rocky Dawuni told Kumasi-based Nhyira FM that he believes the event organizers are unwilling to pay him because they lack the fund.
“It has nothing to do with money,” Rocky Dawuni said. “Someone asked the same question, and I told them I have no control over whether or not the event organizer will book me.”
He claims that because he has no influence over the event organizers’ actions, he can do nothing to encourage them to hire him to perform.
“I don’t have any power over that. But we should ask any event planner why Rocky Dawuni isn’t booked for events even though he’s been nominated for Grammys three times. “, he asked.
Rocky Dawuni is a three-time GRAMMY nominated singer, songwriter, producer and activist whose unique “Afro Roots” sound straddles the boundaries between Africa, the Caribbean and the U.S.
