Why Are Record Labels Failing To Market Ugandan Musicians

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Entertainment November 12, 2021

Some Ugandan Musicians have never been the same after signing under record labels that were meant to make them famous. Some of these record labels are even international and not just on the local scene.

The question is, what really is the problem.

The most surprising thing is that, before signing up with these record labels, musicians are actually thriving and making it in the industry. However, just after signing with these labels, they become close to irrelevant in the music industry. Who is to blame for such things? Is it the artist or the record label? Well, there is so much to look into when it comes to this?

Another question is, do artists read through the contracts they sign with these labels?

You may find, there are clauses they miss out that make them look like untalented people yet they are.

Record labels like Sony Music, Universal Entertainment have signed so many artists in Uganda who have become close to nothing. Who is protecting artists from such labels? Are they are on their own because that is how it seems. No wonder some artists completely refuse to get associated with such labels. How come artists from outside Uganda make it under them?

What happened to Keko? Keko was a very talented musician with a bright future. However, after signing under Sony, nothing has been heard of her. No one knows her whereabouts, or if she will ever sing again?

So, what really is the use of these labels?
