Artiste Managers in Ghana

Top 15 Hardworking Artiste Managers in Ghana. In our creative art industry, we have a lot of artistes being managed by so many people.

But, there have been some artistes who are doing so well in the music industry, and if not for their managers they wouldn’t have been this far.

The job of Artiste managers include negotiating contracts and fees, finding and booking events and venues that match the artiste’s career strategy, advising on career decisions, publicity and promotion, helping them on career decisions such as which record producer to work with, or which songs to perform, and managing media relations on behalf of them.

Here are managers who have been doing well so far.

1.Bulldog (Shatta Wale’s Manager)

The controversial artist manager is a guru in the showbiz. He knows every corner in the industry. He has worked with the likes of Zylophone Media, VVIP , Iwan and Ara B. Currently, he is managing Shatta Wale.

2. Blakk Cedi (Stonebwoy’s Manager)

Here is Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy’s manager Blakk Cedi. He is the type who has the temerity to oppugn talents when he sees or comes into contact with one. Cedi is a pre-programmed and passion driven individual whose burning desire allows him to naturally unclog and support a potential working class individual. Blakk Cedi has a long time history with multiple award-winning music maestro Stonebwoy back in the grass root days in his career.

3. Angel Town (Sarkodie’s Manager)

I believe you’ve seen a thick tall guy together with Sarkodie on loads of occasions, right? Yes, that guy is called Angel. Angel is the road manager of rapper, Sarkodie. On regular daily routine, you won’t see Sarkodie without Angel. When you see Sarkodie, Angel will also be right there. He has been with Sarkodie from day one and still counting, and I guess loyalty has been his major key.

4. John Sherren (Wiyaala’s Manager)

Behind every successful man, there is a woman but this time it’s the other way round; a man has been behind a female artiste and she has gone international. Noella Wiyaala is Ghanaian Afro-pop singer-songwriter who sings in her native Sissala and Waale dialects, and English, often combining all three languages within her songs. She is been managed by John Sherren Brewer known in showbiz as John Sherren.

5. Richie Mensah (KiDi & Kuami Eugene’s Manager)

Award-winning Ghanaian singer-songwriter and record producer, Richie Mensah is the most successful record label owner of all time. He has been able to blow all single artiste he has signed over the years.

Many might not know or hear of Peter Foreigner Mensah but trust me, he is really hardworking. Right after his artiste, Quamina MP got endorsed and accepted by music lovers with his ‘Wiase Y3 D3’ hit banger, he’s been able to smartly capitalize on it.
