Every now and then, someone sends me something that just hits—something that makes me stop, think, and say, “Yeah… this needs to be shared.”
This week, that someone was Ramona Samuels. She dropped this video in my inbox, and I had to put it here on the blog for you all.
It’s a short but powerful piece about ghostwriters—the talented people who pen the lyrics, craft the hooks, and shape the songs we love, often without ever stepping into the spotlight.
In the music business, it’s easy for the credit to land only on the person holding the mic. But behind the scenes, there’s a whole team of creatives whose fingerprints are all over the record. This video captures that perfectly, and it’s a reminder that the unsung heroes of music deserve their flowers too.
💡 Why this resonated with me:
- In reggae, dancehall, and beyond, collaboration is everything.
- Acknowledgment builds loyalty and stronger creative bonds.
- The story behind a song can be just as inspiring as the song itself.
At DZL Records, I’ve always believed that every voice matters—even the ones you don’t hear on the track.
So, big respect to all the ghostwriters out there. Your work moves the culture forward, one verse at a time.
