In a recent development, artists have taken a significant step towards enhancing professionalism and accountability within their industry. Ragga Dee, a prominent figure in the music scene, disclosed that he and a cohort of fellow artists have united to form a small association dedicated to self-regulation within the music sector.
The primary objective of this initiative, as articulated by Ragga Dee, is to tackle prevalent challenges encountered by artists. These challenges include the verification of promoters, the regulation of event service providers, and ensuring artists fulfill their commitments to booked shows.
“Artists have faced challenges where they are falsely booked in other districts say Gulu yet in actual sense they are not. We are looking at having that sorted such that artists are able to protect their brands from fraud,” Ragga Dee explained.
For far too long, the music industry has grappled with issues like last-minute cancellations, double bookings, and dishonest promoters. These issues not only besmirch the reputation of artists but also erode the trust between performers and their fan base.
“We have experienced some unfortunate incidents where artists don’t come through to booked shows and fans vandalize property. We are looking at having an organized system where an artist, promoters, and event organizers all benefit under mutual agreement,” Ragga Dee emphasized.
By establishing this association, artists aim to instill a sense of accountability and professionalism within the industry. Through collective efforts, they aspire to create a structured framework that safeguards the interests of all stakeholders involved in music events.
In conclusion, the formation of this association signifies a pivotal moment for artists, heralding a new era of responsibility and integrity in the music industry. With determination and collaboration, they endeavor to foster a more transparent and trustworthy environment for artists and fans alike.
