The art industry in Ghana can only get better if stakeholders begin to take it serious even from its roots. Over the years, some platforms have been used to nurture talents from infant's stages but those platforms seem to be no more.

Mention can be made of child's talent hunt platforms like Fun World, Kiddafest, By The Fireside, Kwasasa and a lot more interesting programmes which were all meant to unearth talents.

Truth be told; such platforms were used to build the confidence of some great talents in both our music and movie industries. The platforms were also used as tourist attraction joints for children outside Accra.

If there was any platform that helped in shaping the career of artistes like Tic Tac, Ex-Doe, Sydney, Tinny and others, Fun World especially will qualify as one of such best platforms.

Unfortunately, these platforms are no more as questions to whether they will bounce back or not have gone unanswered. Mrs Amy Frimpong, who happens to be a management member at the National Theatre, has told Flex newspaper in an interview that such programmes are no more because of lack of funds.

She has also revealed that media houses are not helpful in that direction because none of them is ready to show their programmes on air for free.

Meanwhile, she says there is no money to pay for the airtime and government support also seems to be nowhere. It is in this instance that is why some crusaders of Fun World in the persons of Ex-Doe and Tic Tac have all promised to support the children`s talent but whether they will be able to do that or not is the bone of contention here.

Though these two are Hiplife soldiers who cut their teeth on the Fun World platforms, it is evident they don't have the clout to push this agenda.

Currently, their relevance in the music industry is on the low to give them the bargaining power.
