Ugandan singer Eddy Kenzo has finally responded to allegations made by fellow musician Big Eye StarBoss that he doesn’t provide contacts and connections to established international artists in the music industry. Big Eye claimed that Eddy Kenzo blocked him when he asked for international connections.
In his response, Eddy Kenzo stated that music is a business and anyone who wants his help should come and ask for it. He also suggested that any artist who feels they can no longer survive on their own should come and sign under his record label, Big Talent Entertainment, to promote them.
“This is business. Music is business, don’t forget. Anyone who wants my help should come and ask for it. No one has ever come to me,” He said.
Eddy Kenzo further emphasized that he cannot have sleepless nights to become who he is and then start moving around hunting for musicians to help. He hustles each and every day to make his people proud. He also said he is not a politician to go around looking for people who need his support and those who need him have to search for him wherever he is to render them his support.
“Secondly, any artiste who feels they can no longer survive on their own should come and I sign them under my record label to promote them. “A tree doesn’t move to find a bird. I cannot have sleepless nights to become who I am and then start moving around hunting for musicians to help. I hustle each and every day to make my people proud” he ranted.
It is understandable that in the music industry, connections and contacts are crucial for any artist’s success. However, it is also important to note that no one owes anyone anything. It is up to an individual to build their network and create opportunities for themselves.
It is not surprising that Eddy Kenzo suggested that any artist who wants his help should come and ask for it. This is because people are not mind readers, and if one needs help, they need to speak up and ask for it. Similarly, if an artist feels that they cannot make it on their own, signing under a record label can help with promotion and exposure.
It is important for artists to understand that the music industry is not a one-man show. Collaboration is key, and it is essential to have a supportive network to succeed. However, it is also crucial to note that no one owes anyone anything, and hard work and dedication are necessary for any artist to make it in the industry.
Eddy Kenzo’s response to the allegations made by Big Eye StarBoss is a reminder that no one owes anyone anything in the music industry. While connections and contacts are essential, it is up to an individual to create opportunities for themselves and build their network. Collaboration is key, and it is essential to have a supportive network, but hard work and dedication are also necessary for any artist to succeed.
