I had an offer from UK-based record label but I declined – Trigmatic

Ghanaian artiste Trigmatic has recounted how he escaped a deal from a record label in the United Kingdom at the nascent stage of his career. According to him, the label promised glamour but upon consultations, he realised the deal would have cost him ownership of the masters to his debut album ‘Permanent Stains.’ Speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A to Z, Trigmatic noted that some record label deals can be limiting to an artiste's craft and career, but the onus lies with the artiste to weigh options and decide what to do when such offers come. “I had an offer. They actually flew me to check their studios in the UK. I will never forget. And at the time, 'My Life' was big. Before they tried to sign me I was chasing them because they had a very big artiste globally and they were always coming to Ghana,” he said.
