Giving Artistes Plaques Is Not An ‘Award’ – Rex Omar

Veteran musician and President of the Ghana Music Right Organization (GHAMRO), Rex Omar has spoken out about how he views accolades and how he reacts to collecting them.

Giving medals to artists, he claims, is not an award; instead, he views his songs’ impact on others and people paying for his brand to be accolades in and of themselves.

He made his submission in an interview with Kwabena Boafo on Happy 98.9FM’s Obra Yi,

He said, “I believe an award is any Ghanaian taking out time to listen to my songs and taking out money to buy or support any music I produce. That is what I classify as an award.”

He stated that those are more meaningful to him and that he values them more than any prize.

“Any Ghanaian taking out of their hard-earned money to buy a ticket to attend my concert is what I classify as an award. So, if you ask me the number of awards I have received, I’ll tell you I have received lots of them. Fortunately for me, I get a lot of people patronising the music I do, he said.

Rex Omar further added that he does not take folks who support him and his music for granted because of this.

He added: “So every time I come into contact with such people who tell me how my songs impacted them, I get humbled because it makes me feel good and shows me, I’m doing a great job and pushes me to do more. These are what I consider awards to be not the plaques,”
