The launch ceremony which came off at the African Regency Hotel in Accra, was also used to unveil the video of his Try Another Time song which features top Nigerian act, J Martins.
All of Okyeame Kwame songs and videos will now be available for download from mtnplay.com.gh.
Speaking at the event, Okyeame Kwame said one of the issues in the music industry which make musicians lose a lot of revenue was distribution.
“I say this because the existing distribution channels in the country do not create platforms for the music to find its patrons. It is rather the patrons who must find the music. This causes loss of revenue to the musician,” Okyeame stated.
He said though technology had tried to help resolve the issues of distribution through platforms like iTunes and Amazon, Internet fraud and other fraudulent transactions by some unscrupulous persons still create barriers for African artistes.
According to him, the mtnplay.com.gh platform gives prominence to African artistes and also makes payment easier for buyers in addition to being a transparent mode of operation.
“ One of the main differences between mtnplay.com.gh and other platforms is that one can easily download to mobile phone, personal computer, tablet, iPad and other devices you have and the platform is also very user- friendly.

The launch of Okyeame Kwame’s digital platform attracted a large number of stakeholders in the music business and fans witnessed live performances from Stone of Bradez fame, Raquel, Miss V and Okyeame himself.
