David Oscar Dogbe, once a household name in Ghana’s entertainment industry, has opened up about the challenges he faced despite his fame and how relocating to Germany changed the course of his life.

In an exclusive interview with Dj Nyaami on Svtv Afrcia’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show, David Oscar—who rose to prominence as one of the pioneers of Ghanaian stand-up comedy—shared his honest reflections on the broken system that left him struggling financially, even at the peak of his popularity.

“I was famous in Ghana but broke,” he said bluntly. “There was little to no support for creatives, and the industry didn’t provide the structure to sustain those of us trying to make a real living out of our talents.”

Oscar pursued Visual Arts at Pope John Senior High School and later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Ghana’s School of Performing Arts. His passion for performance led him to radio and television, where he became a pioneer in Ghanaian stand-up comedy. Hosting shows like “Laugh A Minute” on Viasat 1, he played a pivotal role in shaping the country’s comedy landscape.

Despite his success, David faced systemic challenges. “I was famous in Ghana but broke,” he candidly shared, highlighting the lack of financial support and infrastructure for artists in the country. This realization prompted him to seek opportunities elsewhere.

In 2021, David relocated to Germany, a move that marked a significant turning point in his life. Embracing the German language and culture, he immersed himself in the local arts scene, working in theater and launching a music initiative for children. His commitment to integration and growth exemplifies the importance of adaptability and continuous learning.

David’s musical journey flourished in Germany. He released his debut reggae album, Cosmical Vibrations, and collaborated with artists like Afriyie Wutah. His music, characterized by its authentic reggae rhythms and socially conscious lyrics, resonates with a diverse audience.

Beyond his artistic endeavors, David is an advocate for legal and informed migration. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one’s purpose and the systems in place before relocating. “It’s not just about leaving Ghana,” he notes. “It’s about understanding the system you’re entering, preparing well, and knowing your worth.”

David continues to give back to his homeland, organizing the annual Reggae Spot Music Festival in Ghana. He also aspires to collaborate with renowned artists like Stonebwoy, aiming to bridge cultural gaps and inspire others through music.
