Unlike previous years, the Ghanaian music scene has seen a tremendous growth with most musicians making the best out of their craft financially and investing in other profitable ventures.
Among notable musicians making the best of their craft and reaping profits off their investments is CEO of Black Avenue Musik, Desmond Blakcmore, well known in showbiz as D-Black.
Well, it is for no mere reason that a sect of the Ghanaian media refer to him as the P.Diddy of the country. This is simply because he has always been the business minded sort of person who sees beyond making music.
Well, in this special profiling, we put to bear the net worth of the 30 year old musician who has been active with his craft for the past seven (7) years. Not exactly in figures but his achievements and experiences gathered around the world is priceless.
