I put my music career on hold for 25 years – Rex Omar

Legendary Ghanaian Highlife singer, Rex Omar has disclosed that his music career was put on hold 25 years ago to fix the Ghana Music Rights Organization (GHAMRO).

 

Rex Omar is one of the legendary artists in Ghana who rocked the music industry some years back. He can be remembered for his popular song, “Abiba”.

 

“Those who have followed me for some time will attest to it that I put my career on hold as an artist at the time when I was at my highest peak to fight for royalties for musicians,” he said.

 

The legendary artist Rex Omar told the host on Kastle Entertainment Show, that he put his career on hold for 25 years to fight and change the laws of GHAMRO.

“I’m talking about 25 years ago when we fought for the whole copyright laws to be changed when we fought for then archaic laws to be changed and we formed GHAMRO”.

 

We started it not today me and Charles Amoah, Carlos Sakyi and others we started this thing long ago so the results of what we fought for is the establishment of GHAMRO,” he revealed.

 

“So when people get up and they are talking they think we just started from yesterday and we still have to continue to fight so that we can build the structure of the music industry.

 

“My contribution started years before GHAMRO was given birth so at the peak of my career I could have chosen to stay abroad to focus on my career but by my nature, I love to serve my country,” he ended.
