Australia-based Ghanaian hip-life musician, Michael Osayo Odonkor, has indicated that the works of artistes Sarkodie, KiDi and Kuami Eugene are making waves in the Australian market.

According to him, Ghanaians living in Australia have bought into the songs of these artistes, and that has increased their market share Down Under.

The ‘Me and You’ singer told Prince Benjamin on the Class Drive on Class 91.3FM that: “The Ghanaian community in Australia is not big, so, there are not a lot of Ghanaians in Canberra, so, it’s not popping like that, but Sarkodie is playing.

“The new kids, KiDi and Kuami Eugene, these guys are popping as well, they are doing great music, and R2Bees as well.”

He nonetheless pointed out that “Australia is a tough market, if you are not doing house EDM type of music, it’s very difficult to get there, they want club music, they love club type of music. Afro music is growing very fast, it’s getting big and getting massive; on Fridays and Saturdays, they have afro night, so that’s great, it’s encouraging, it was not happening till last two years, there was nothing like that; you will never hear something like afro music in the club, there was not nothing like that.”
