Flaunt Weeekly
Broadcaster and co-founder of music streaming service, Aftown, has dispelled the notion that GMX is the first Ghanaian music streaming platform.
Speaking to DJ Slim on Hitz FM, Antoine said although he supports the plurality of local businesses, the fact that his streaming app Aftown is the first to have emerged in Ghana by Ghanaians, cannot be erased.
“I saw the tag line of GMX being promoted as the very first from our end. Like I said in the beginning there is nothing wrong with new ones coming into the market but tagging it as the first, I personally felt like it’s not the right tag. They need to rephrase that.
So internally, between me and my partners we were like ‘really?’ If you are bringing a new platform, there is nothing wrong with that but let’s tag it right,” he said.
Launched in October 2026, Aftown is a company that consists of two main platforms: streaming and downloads. The aftown app is free and generates revenue through premium subscriptions and advertisement from free users.
