Business man and event organiser, Papa Loggy, has opined that award-winning Ghanaian reggae/dancehall musician Stonebwoy is the only musician in Ghana who has event organizers at heart and does not treat them with an iron fist when it comes to charging for shows.
CEO of Loggy Travel and Tours and Loggy Entertainment, Prince Nana Boakye Yiadom, popularly known in the showbiz space as Papa Loggy was the mastermind behind Stonebwoy’s first concert in 2023 in Berekum ‘A Night In Berekum With Stonebwoy’ organized by Nish Entertainment, an event organizing firm in Berekum.
After the successfully sold out concert on January 14, Papa Loggy in an interview with Joy Prime’s broadcast journalist, Ibrahim Ben Bako (IB), opened up on why he would never hesitate when he has to do anything for the ‘Take Me Away” hit maker stating that the dancehall act is very considerate when charging for a show.
“If I come to you telling you I think your fans out there miss you so let’s do something to project you to get closer to you fans and also make money out of that and also to entertain the audience and you quote prices that when I invest I will make more money, I will not risk it”.
When IB asked if he believes some artistes make outrageous demands, he said yes.
“Some musicians make unreasonable demands. Trust me Stonebwoy is one artiste who I will answer his call any day anywhere if he calls on me, he is so reasonable. He is always considerate when it comes to events. The prices Stonebwoy takes from some of us the organizers, other artistes don’t do that and when it comes to repertoire, Stonebwoy has so many good songs than those artistes”.
Papa Loggy further revealed that Stonebwoy cancelled a show in France to avail himself for the Berekum show.
“Stonebwoy was supposed to be in France for a show, when I approached him with this show, he said Loggy let me cancel the France show, I will go and shoot my video with the Grammy award artiste and come down for the ‘Night In Berekum With Stonebwoy’ then I will go back later. I never bought his plane ticket for him, he did that himself and still came to show the love.”
