Award-winning Ghanaian music producer Mirakilouz Beatz, born Agyei Mensah Miracle, has called on industry stakeholders, established musicians and music lovers to do more to support up-and-coming artists, stressing that many talented musicians are being held back by a lack of opportunities, funding and proper guidance.

Known for producing hit songs including “Finally” by Chief Priest and Spyki, “Fowaah” by Kwaku DMC, Lasmid and O’Kenneth, “Do You Know?” by Siicie and Lasmid, “Special Love” by Wendy Shay and King Paluta, as well as “Ebibekɔ” by Dei Bie, Mirakilouz Beatz says his experience working with both established and emerging musicians has given him firsthand insight into the challenges facing new talent.

According to the producer, his decision to speak publicly about the issue stems from seeing countless gifted artists struggle despite possessing the talent needed to succeed.

“What inspired me is seeing a lot of talented artists struggle because they don’t have the support they need,” he said. “I’ve worked with many upcoming musicians, and I know how hard it can be to get opportunities, exposure and the right guidance. Every big artist started somewhere, so it’s important that we support the next generation.”

Mirakilouz Beatz believes one of the biggest obstacles facing emerging musicians today is gaining visibility in an increasingly competitive industry. With thousands of songs released regularly, standing out has become more difficult than ever.

He also pointed to financial constraints as a major setback, explaining that recording quality music, producing videos and promoting songs require significant investment that many young artists cannot afford. Beyond financial support, he emphasized the importance of mentorship, noting that many talented musicians lack the industry knowledge and professional guidance needed to navigate their careers successfully.

While acknowledging that Ghana’s music industry has made efforts to nurture new talent, he believes much more can be done. According to him, although some young artists have been given opportunities, many deserving musicians continue to struggle for recognition.

He called for more platforms that showcase emerging talent, increased investment in artist development and stronger mentorship programmes to help shape the future of Ghanaian music.

Mirakilouz Beatz also urged established musicians to play a more active role in developing the next generation by collaborating with upcoming artists, promoting their music, sharing industry knowledge and introducing them to wider audiences.

“Sometimes one opportunity from a big artist can completely change an upcoming artist’s career,” he said, expressing optimism that greater collaboration and support would produce Ghana’s next generation of music stars.
