Ghanaian musician Cweku Ryan has opened up about his struggles in the music industry, revealing that an early rejection at an X Factor audition nearly ended his career.
In an interview on Opemsuo Radio monitored by News and Vibes, he said that after facing disappointment, he considered quitting, but encouragement from friends pushed him to try again, leading to his victory in the 2013 Vodafone Icons Street Edition.
Despite winning the competition, he found that success came with significant pressure and high expectations.
While the title helped him gain opportunities, it also placed a heavy burden on him to consistently deliver.
One of the biggest challenges he continues to face is the high cost of music promotion, which has become even more expensive over time.
He believes that without strong industry connections and dedicated support, it is difficult for upcoming artists to thrive.
Determined not to give up, Cweku Ryan remains focused on his career and refuses to let setbacks define him.
