According to Sammy Flex, the PR of Zylofon Media, the signing of the five actors is in line with the company’s theme of pursuing an agenda of “creative arts made in Ghana.”

He revealed: “As people who have a franchise for a particular award scheme, the best you can do is to contribute in that sector.

"We cannot run a movie award when we don’t have anything doing with movies. So, it is our plan that we put out our own movies on the market.”

He further stated that the new signees “are going to play the role as our movie stars as well as our ambassadors when it comes to Zylofon movies.

"The stars, as much as they can also do their individual works; we are going to handle their management and give them roles both in Ghana and outside Ghana. They will also be producing Zylofon movies.”

Zylofon Media had signed five musicians - Kumi Guitar, Becca, Stonebwoy, Joyce Blessing and Obibini - to Zylofon Music, a subsidiary of Zylofon Media, prior to unveiling the five actors.
