Mesach Semakula On How Singing In Group Drained Him

Famous band musician Mesach Semakula has revealed how singing in the music group drained him. Being a band singer, that automatically grants someone a burden or opportunity to sing in a group.

The singer has to have backup musicians and other fellow band artistes to sing along with him. That means the budget has to be increased because everyone will need to be paid.

In the Uganda, the music industry doesn’t pay that much. If someone is singing solo, they may get more money.

However, it is different when one is singing in a group. The money given to them can’t be enough because they share it among themselves.

According to Semakula, that was his biggest problem when it came to singing in groups. The money was never enough and the people in the band were growing with responsibility every day.

It was hard for him to give them little money knowing they now have children and families to looks after. That is one of the reasons that made Mesach Semakula quit singing in groups because he was all drained.

“With time, being in a music group became draining and too much work. For example, Maureen now has children, and the same amount of money we paid her long ago is not enough now due to her increased demands. In the long run, it became clear that the group thing was not working out,” Mesach Semakula said in an interview with NTV Uganda.
