“I’m concerned about love and unity,” says Black Amber who describes himself as a nationalist and Pan-Africanist and also has recording label to nuture young musical talents.

“I just want to state through music that we must have confidence in ourselves and aim to record music capable of selling abroad. If our music is patronised outside and musicians work regularly, that would take some of the economic burden off the central government.”
