“Many a time, I see the media calling Sarkodie a musician, no, he is a rapper, he is not a musician.

Musicians are people who are able to put sounds together and allow it to make sense for people to enjoy it.

People who call themselves musicians, they have to go back to the drawing board. They have to go back to school to learn how to play instruments.

There are some people who can compose music, the idea will come, and a melodic idea will also emerge, so, they will meet somebody and sing it to him, but they cannot arrange the music, they cannot say: ‘Guitar, you play that side or trumpet play this side’; they cannot do that, so, that person only becomes a composer but not a musician.”
