Govt ignored industry players in GMX app rollout – Seven Xavier

The Ghanaian government launched the GMX App on October 30, aiming to promote local music globally and ensure fair compensation for artists.

However, stakeholders have criticized the lack of industry consultation.

Music Alliance President Seven Xavier accused the government of excluding key music and tech experts and questioned the app's financial benefits for artists.

Software Engineer Solomon Appier-Sign highlighted flaws, including no clear revenue-sharing model and inadequate features like song recommendations to sustain user engagement.

Both emphasized the need for better planning to compete with global platforms.
