Kwabena Kwabena Speaks on Mentorship and Passing the Baton
Kwabena Kwabena

In a heart-to-heart on the Big Conversation, Kwabena Kwabena didn't hold back on his views about mentorship, expressing a mix of concern and passion for the future of Ghana's music scene. He's seen a worrying trend lately - young artistes not keen on tapping into the wisdom and experience of those who've already navigated the industry's ups and downs.

Kwabena Kwabena's story is one of learning from the legends. He spoke fondly of Pat Thomas and Papa Yankson, icons whose guidance was instrumental in his journey to becoming the artist he is today. "They didn't just teach me how to sing; they showed me how to be in this business," he shared, his voice laced with gratitude.

But there's a catch, he pointed out - mentorship isn't just about the mentor giving; it's about the mentee wanting to receive. It's a dance where both partners need to be engaged. He's noticed that many young talents today are more focused on the glitz and less on the grind, missing out on the invaluable lessons that could set them apart.

Yet, amidst this, there's a silver lining for Kwabena - his own daughter. At just 16, she's showing signs of not just following but potentially surpassing her father's musical footsteps. He can't hide his excitement when he talks about her, seeing in her not just potential but a continuation of a musical legacy. It's clear he's ready to pass on the baton, eager to mentor her with the same dedication he received, blending family tradition with professional guidance.

In the discussion Kwabena Kwabena urged young musicians to seek out mentorship actively and respect the knowledge that's out there for the taking. According to him, it's about creating a cycle where the music industry in Ghana thrives through shared wisdom, ensuring that the beats of today resonate into the future.
