Kobby, one half of the defunct music duo, Wutah, has enumerated some advantages that come with working as a music group.
In an interview with Graphic Showbiz, Wutah Kobby born Daniel Nyarko Morris, said forming groups comes with synergy, diversity and less financial burden.
He also intimated that even established solo acts can occasionally team up with other artistes to produce joint works.
“Music groups are vibrant, and the diversity of music allows groups to be vibrant. I’m of the opinion that solo artistes can always come together to compose music as a group.
“Take a look at La Meme Gang, they are solo artistes but they come together to create music and after that, go their separate ways.
“It doesn’t always have to be that members of the group are official members. Also, the advantage of a group is that individuals put collective effort into unique talents, creating magic”, he told Graphic Showbiz.
Highlighting the financial benefits that come with working as a group, Kobby said: “When artistes collaborate in a music group, they can share the costs and responsibilities of composing music and managing their careers.
This makes things easier for everyone since no single person has to handle everything alone. It’s financially easier when the load isn’t on just one person. Working together helps artistes improve their unique skills, resulting in creative and varied music."
Kobby and Afriyie hit the limelight after winning the Nescafe African Revelations in 2004. After their break up in 2010, they re-united in 2017 for 'Bronya', 'I Do', 'AK47', and later went their separate ways again.
While the two have great songs including 'Goosie Gander', 'Kotosa', 'Obaa Foowaa', 'Adonko', 'Change Your Style', Kobby as a solo artiste has to his credit songs such as 'Chio Chio', 'My Story', 'If I Get' and 'Sweet and Soar.'
Kobby is currently out with a new song titled titled 'Dollar Dollar.'
