Bomi County Senator, Hon. Edwin Melvin Snowe, recently took to Facebook to congratulate Liberian artist JZyno on the release of his Liberian Boy EP, which has been going viral worldwide. In his message of support, Sen. Snowe declared, “The whole country is proud and rooting for you.”
This endorsement follows a similar congratulatory message from Hon. Bernard Blue Benson (DJ Blue), now a representative of District 17 in Montserrado County. Both political figures’ recognition highlights a growing trend of politicians endorsing the arts in Liberia.
While these gestures are encouraging, there is hope that politicians will also offer tangible support, especially through budgetary provisions for the creative industry. More investment could help Liberian artists, like JZyno, continue to elevate the nation’s cultural presence globally.
