What We Are About
BiGx.Com.Gh is a music-streaming platform where Ghanaian music listeners from around the world can listen to their favorite Ghanaian songs on the go. Musicians can also monetize their works on the platform. Our vision is to give worldwide fans access to their favorite Ghanaian songs and artists, working hand-in-hand with artists to enable them to connect with their fans and followers globally.

How We Started.
BiGx.Com.Gh journey started 4 years ago when the co-founders, Prince Boakye Boampong and Dominic Mensah realized that the only way Ghanaians could listen to breath of Ghana music available was the radio which was limited to location. They decided to build a blog and were the first to put Ghanaian music on the Internet there was nothing of that sort at the time. The blog bigxgh.com went viral and became the number one spot for Ghana music for Ghanaians home and abroad.

Prince Co-founder says “It was still a hobby and passion for to us” giving Ghanaians worldwide and Ghana music lovers access to the music they love wherever they are. As of 2013 The co-founders started gathering data and speaking to thousands of their users and visitors. Based on requests and recommendations they decided to build a truly digital streaming platform.

Our Progress
BigX.com.gh raised a seed round from Savannah Fund; The new Bigx.Com.Gh offers a lot more than just downloads but a whole new experience in listening to Ghana music. The new Bigx.com.gh launched on August 11th 2014. In its first two weeks of launching, Bigx.com.gh has served 250,000 streams and its user base has grown to over 60,000 registered users and they serve over 15,000 streams daily.

The rebranding of bigx.com.gh allows the user to not only have access to their favorite Ghanaian artists and songs, but it gives the user full control of their listening experience, by giving them access to the variables they need to create the musical product they desire, and will cherish.
