Germany-based Ghanaian highlife musician Action Man Kofi has revealed that he prefers recording his songs in Ghana rather than abroad, citing the superior expertise of local music professionals.
The artist claimed that Ghana boasts a higher concentration of professionally trained and skilled engineers compared to Germany.
Speaking in an interview with Eddie Ray on the Midmorning Show on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, he explained that the sheer variety of talent in Ghana makes it the ideal hub for any serious musician.
He noted that finding qualified engineers in Germany who understand and can produce the specific “Ghanaian taste” is an uphill battle, which is why he consistently returns home to work.
Action Man Kofi applauded Ghanaian professionals for their deep understanding of the craft.
“We have good engineers in Ghana, and they are professionals; they truly know what they are doing. You cannot compare Germany to Ghana because, in the whole of Hamburg, you might find only one engineer capable of delivering the quality and style that meets the Ghanaian standard. That is what I have observed during my stay in Germany. In Ghana, there are plenty of engineers to choose from, making the process much smoother. That is why I always come home to record and promote my songs.”
The musician, who has been performing professionally for nine years, argued that success in music requires a blend of determination, self-awareness, and the support of the right experts.
He admitted that pursuing a music career in Germany is particularly difficult due to a lack of local support.
According to him, many Ghanaians living there often discourage aspiring artists, operating under the fixed mentality that music is not a viable or profitable career.
Despite the sceptics, Action Man Kofi remains undeterred.
He emphasised that anyone pursuing music as a profession must remain strong, committed, and clear-headed about their goals.
He asserted that he is no novice to the industry but rather a seasoned artist with the experience necessary to navigate the complexities of the music business both at home and abroad.
