Ko-Jo Cue Shares Insights on Thriving in Music

Ko-Jo Cue

Music has always been both an art and an economy.

From buskers and record labels to streaming platforms and direct-to-fan services, the way music is created, distributed, and consumed determines who prospers and how culture evolves.

Lately, debates about low streaming payouts, ownership of masters, and the ethics of consumption have highlighted a central point: the music industry pays when its participants act fairly and transparently.

Doing the right thing, fair compensation, respect for rights, honest business models, and equitable opportunities yields tangible financial returns and intangible cultural benefits.

Ghanaian rapper Ko-Jo Cue has shared insightful views about doing music and what it takes to thrive in Ghana’s evolving music industry.

Ko-Jo Cue emphasized that music can be financially rewarding when artists adopt the right mindset and professional approach.

“Music pays if you do the right thing,” he said, stressing that success in the industry depends not only on talent but also on discipline, planning, and strategic investment.

The ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ hitmaker explained that many artists struggle financially not because music lacks opportunities but because they fail to structure their careers properly or invest wisely in their art and brand.

At the core of “doing the right thing” is ensuring that creators receive fair compensation. Historically, many musicians struggled under contracts that favored intermediaries.

Contemporary debates center on streaming economics: artists routinely report tiny per-stream payments, which undermines livelihoods for many creators.

When labels, platforms, and aggregators adopt fairer splits or alternative models that prioritize artist revenue, the result is healthier careers and more investment in new music.

Transparency and Ethical Ownership

Transparency and Ethical Ownership
Ko-Jo Cue

Transparency about who owns what, who holds masters, who receives royalties matters morally and economically. Recent high-profile disputes over ownership have shown that when artists lack control over their work, resentments build and public relations crises depresses revenues for all parties.

Conversely, artists who reclaim or control their catalogs monetize more effectively and cultivate deeper fan loyalty.

The willingness of some artists to take stands on ownership and to reissue or re-record material to regain control has been a practical demonstration that ethical stewardship of music rights pays off: it strengthens brand, mobilizes fan support, and often increases long-term revenue streams.

Platforms also play a decisive role. The dominant streaming model piling all subscription revenue into a single pool and allocating payments by share of total streams has been criticized as rewarding already-popular acts and starving niche creators.

Alternatives, like user-centric payment systems, niche subscription tiers, and direct tipping, aim to align payments more closely with listener behavior and preferences.

When platforms pilot reforms that favor smaller creators and provide clearer reporting, they build trust with both artists and listeners. Fairer platform policies foster a more diverse and resilient music economy.

Doing the right thing means building a diverse and inclusive industry. When labels and platforms actively invest in underrepresented voices and remove systemic barriers, they unlock new audiences and creative innovation.

Diversity is not only ethically right; it’s commercially smart. New sounds and perspectives attract listeners, stimulate genre cross-pollination, and create new market segments.

Call to Action

“Music pays if you do the right thing” is both a moral claim and a pragmatic strategy. Fair compensation, transparent ownership, equitable platforms, responsible consumption, and inclusive practices all contribute to an industry that rewards creators, satisfies audiences, and sustains cultural vibrancy.

For music to pay financially and culturally, artists, platforms, policymakers, and listeners must align incentives with ethics. When they do, the result is a virtuous cycle: better pay for creators, richer artistic output, stronger audience loyalty, and a healthier business model for everyone involved.

Doing right by music isn’t just the ethical choice, it’s the economically smart one.
