I make about GH₵30,000 a month from selling CDs of my songs – Ghanaian musician Wan-O

Ghanaian musician William Ansah, known in showbiz as Wan-O, has revealed that he earns up to GH₵30,000 monthly from selling CDs of his own music at the Accra Mall.

Speaking to Doreen Avio and Kwame Dadzie on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Wan-O said he makes more money from selling physical CDs than he does from streaming platforms.

“In a month I can make about 20,000 to 30,000 cedis from my CD sales,” he said. “I [go to the place] every day.”

According to him, he has sold over one million CDs since he started selling at the Mall ten years ago. He emphasised the importance of strategy and planning in his approach to physical sales.

“I don’t just put singles on it. I create an album, I put a marketing plan together. I treat my act like I am running a label,” Wan-O noted.
