Over the years, Uganda has had different types of artistes, we have had the old school and the new school, and those in between.
With the elevation of technology, most who came in the 20’s think that they are more talented than those that were here before them mainly because of YouTube subscriber numbers and views.
However, Juliana Kanyomozi thinks otherwise, she says musicians should not gauge their music success based on social media likes and views.
The diva gave her assessment, responding to a question from Mckenzie during an interview a few days ago on Kiss FM.
She said that during their days, it was all about hard work to prove to the public that you are a good artiste prior to what artistes are doing lately.
“You cannot base everything about your success on just social media likes and views. People can like your staff for many reasons. People can like your video because you have a nice body. The thing I liked about us by the time we started, we had to put in 150% of our craft because we didn’t have social media likes and boosters to push our content. You had to prove yourself. If I brought a song to a radio station, it had to be a really good song, not just a trending jam. Now, your song can get on the radio because it is trending on TikTok. Those days, it had to be good music. For many of us, we were doing music that would stand for a taste of time,” she said.
Juliana further said that during their days, they always looked at creating timeless music as their source of inspiration and producing timeless music.
