Musicians have become vigilant - Reggie Rockstone
Hiplife legend Reggie Rockstone says Ghanaian
musicians and music right owners have become very
vigilant on issues pertaining to the distribution
of royalties by the Ghana Music Rights
Organisation (GHAMRO).

Reginald Rockstone Ossei was part of the several
music right owners who pledged to ensure fairness,
transparency and equity in the distribution of
royalties among musicians in Ghana.

“Right owners and musicians in Ghana have become
vigilant. If you see the way things are moving
then you can tell that people really want to make
things right,” Reggie Rockstone told NEWS-ONE.

Speaking on the recent incident in which Gyedu
Blay Ambolley led a team of other musicians to
lock up the offices of GHAMRO because they felt
the interim board had outstayed their term,
Rockstone stated that though the group was
misinformed, the intent for the act was a positive
one.

“I know Uncle Ambolley and I know his integrity.
When you know the person and his integrity then
you know the intent was on a positive side,” he
said.

The interim board was instructed by a Human Rights
Court to stay in office till they successfully
hold elections to appoint a permanent board for
GHAMRO.

Rockstone added that he was sure Ambolley meant no
harm because he (Ambolley) was very passionate
about setting things right at GHAMRO.

“Uncle Ambolley is really passionate about the
course and I know this.

He wants to set things right so I think it was
definitely a misunderstanding,” he disclosed.

Reggie Rockstone, who is currently a member of the
VVIP music group, indicated that the series of
events which took place to get the interim board
at GHAMRO into office were part of a revolution
which was meant to unite musicians.

“There was a revolution and revolutions unite.
There are going to be misunderstandings,
suspicions and all of the above but what motivated
the revolution is really well supported,” he
noted.
