The Managing Director of Kacstone Records, Wenawome Aborah, has called on young people in the Upper East Region to embrace creativity, discipline, and innovation as tools for personal growth and regional development.
Speaking at the International Tea Day celebration organised by A1 Radio in Bolgatanga, Mr. Aborah emphasized the critical role of the youth in shaping the future of the region, describing them as active drivers of development rather than leaders of tomorrow.
Addressing participants at the event, he expressed gratitude to the organisers for the opportunity to contribute to discussions on youth growth and development in the region.
“Kacstone Records is happy to be part of this moment as a partner,” he stated, adding that discussions centred on youth empowerment were timely and necessary for the socio-economic progress of the Upper East Region.
Mr. Aborah noted that talent remains one of the greatest resources available to the people of the region, especially within the growing creative arts industry. According to him, sectors such as music, film, fashion, photography, content creation, and digital media continue to create employment opportunities and inspire communities.
“As someone working within the music and entertainment industry, I strongly believe that talent is one of the greatest resources we have as a people,” he said.
He encouraged young creatives, particularly those in the music industry, to develop unique identities and remain authentic in their craft.
“The world is looking for originality, and our stories from the Upper Region matter,” he stressed, urging musicians and content creators to use their platforms to address societal issues, including peace, unemployment, education, culture, and community development.
The Kacstone Records boss also cautioned young creatives against drug and substance abuse, warning that many promising talents and dreams had been destroyed due to addiction.
“Drugs are not a source of creativity. True creativity comes from discipline, focus, passion, and hard work,” he advised.
Mr. Aborah further highlighted the growing opportunities available to creatives through digital streaming platforms, social media, brand partnerships, collaborations, and live performances, noting that young people now have the chance to reach audiences beyond Ghana and compete globally.
Raymond Adda, who read a speech on behalf of the Managing Director, therefore urged the youth to remain consistent, professional, and confident in pursuing their ambitions.
The International Tea Day celebration brought together stakeholders, persons living with disabilities, youth groups, and creatives to discuss issues affecting youth development and empowerment in the region. This year’s event was themed “Fostering Growth and Inclusion.”
