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.
