Episode 042 | Repetition Builds Reputation (with Antoneosoul)

We have a special episode for you! For Episode 042, we sit down with one of Kenya's polarizing artists, former Nation FM radio presenter, and TV presenter Antoneosoul. The trio get right into conversation. Antoneosoul talks about his hair and explains why he does not refer to them as "Dreadlocks" but rather refers to them as "Rastas". He proceeds to talk about what having Rastas means to him and his artistic expression. Conversation flows into an important topic, giving credit where it is due. They discuss the importance of giving people their flowers and why that may be missing in the Kenyan industry as well as how fake humbleness is holding us back. Antoneosoul then talks about how he got his start in the industry which includes advertising, copywriting, music, and radio presenting. This leads to a talk about hunger as an artist and doing what you have to do to get to where you need to be. Sam and Afam ask him about the challenges he has faced in the music industry. Who has the right to tell an artist what they can and can't do? Antoneosoul goes on a rant about Fans vs Critiques in art, who should give their opinions when it comes to other peoples art and when it is okay to do so. The trio talk about hard work vs talent and being comfortable as an artist. They then proceed to talk about the importance of quality in our art/music industry. Antoneosoul has been behind the scenes working working on PR for notable artists such as Bayani, Mr Eazy, Conscience and more. He explains what PR is and what is required to be good at it. To bring more awareness to the different genres of music within the industry we hope to see the artists & songs discussed in the podcast receive the recognition they deserve.
