Episode 101 | Lifecycle of a Kenyan Artist

This week kicks off with a recap of Collo's recent listening party (8:54). We then dive into UMG East Africa's signing of Producer Vic West and consider its impact on Black Market Records (17:55). Next up, we discuss Sol Fest’s earnings and their choice to spotlight Kenyan artists over international acts (28:30). CMB Prezzo's shift to gospel with a debut at Rev. Natasha's Church is up for debate as we explore why artists often make this transition (33:47). Finally, we unpack the latest CMO drama with KAMP accusing KECOBO of ignoring court orders (42:07). We also review new music that dropped last week! Intro Music: Prezzo - "PREZZO" Song Pick: Savara - "Show You Off" produced by Savara, Hendricks Sam, Trevor Magak. 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.
