A decade ago, being an artist in Ghana, precisely a musician, was something very few people held in high esteem. Fast forward, things have really changed. Musicians are actually raking in monies that some of our white collar workers will find difficult to come by.
To help answer the question "How much do Ghanaian artists charge per show?", a Ghanaian youtuber has revealed in a recent video, charges made by some top musicians in the country. From our own AY POYOO to the HIGHEST SARKODIE.
This is how he did it. There’s no way a random guy out of the blue will text the management of sarkodie or Shatta wale requesting for how much they charge for a show and will be replied. So according to the youtuber,he created a fake IG account posing as the operations manager of a very reputable company.
He contacted management of the artistes and requested for their services. There he had them naming their prices.
Here is how much some of our musicians charge per show.
According to the video, The leader of “POYOORIANS” charges nothing less than Gh 12,000 cedis. For someone, who only got started in the industry, sounds a bit high, but, it is what it is.
If you want to enjoy his services, you better “WASHOUT”.
Also in the same category, the Pilolo hitmaker, Strongman Burner, also has same charge as AY Poyoo, Gh12,000cedis. Not fair is it?
Ghanaian songstress Mildred Ashong, Popularly known as Eazzy, charges Gh 15,000 per show currently. The Kpakposhito hitmaker has been in the game for over a decade, so we can’t really complain can we?
Fameye, charges nothing less than Gh 20,000 cedis per show as revealed in the video. Now I’m starting to doubt his “Nothing I get” song.
Kelvyn Boy, such a talented musician charging Gh 25,000 cedis per show is something we can’t complain . You are sure of enjoying his show.
Two highlife musicians whose names popped up, Bisa Kdei and Kwabena Kwabena, coincidentally, takes an amount of Gh 30,000 cedis per show. Take nothing from them, these two are top singers.

The Stars of Lynx entertainment, Kwame Eugene and and Kidi, according to the video have a Gh 30,000 cedis charge each. Which means if you need both stars for your program, you pay nothing less than Gh60,000 cedis, quite hefty, but you are definitely assured of hit songs so, you just have to manage the “Rockstars”.
King promise provides nothing but quality songs, hence his charge of Gh 40,000 cedis per show, is worth it.
MzVee charges Gh 46,000 per show. Even tho the former lynx entertainment artiste for the past few years hasn’t given us that much, she’s still one of the masses’ favourite and having her on your show will sell . What can I say, I think it’s fair to pay Mzvee that amount.
Wendy Shay, Our self acclaimed version of Beyonce, charges Gh 50,000 cedis to grace a program. Well, having Beyonce for Gh 50,000 is nothing to complain about right? Lol. I mean, she has the hit songs too, so, pay her already.
Ghana wake up!!
Medikal, the sowutuom Soldier, gets you to pay Gh 57,650 cedis and he will be representing. I’m paying that once I have it. His hit songs deserves it.
Becca takes Gh60,000 to 100,000 cedis per show. really? Too much for me. She’s being in the game for a period of time, but that charge is a little too much.
R2bees have a charge fee of $20,000. Top musicians, i cant complain. Put these iconic duo on your show and be sure patrons Will have a good time. It’s no surprise they charge such an amount.
Fuse ODG takes nothing less than $40,000. That is Gh 230,600 cedis. The ‘Antenna’ hit maker has a huge audience and a great international recognition. Getting him on your show is even a plus. The amount is huge but can’t complain. It’s Fuse ODG and he deserves it.
Then finally, The BET Best International FLOW winner, what more can you expect. “The Highest” SARKODIE has the highest charge per show in Ghana and we all know why. He serves it hot. $50,000. That is Gh 288,250 cedis. I will even pay more for his “HUH!!”
The YouTuber promised to get us that of Shattawale,Stonebwoy and other top acts when he gets them. We’ll wait and serve you when it drops.
