Otile Brown The Only Kenyan Listed Among Top 10 African Musicians By Boomplay, Tanzanians Still Dominating
Kenyan music has immensely improved. Even though we’re receiving massive competition from Tanzanian musicians, the local industry is becoming better and better. Recently, Shakilla had criticized Kenyan musicians for singing ‘trash’. In exchange, she wowed Tanzanian musicians and claimed local artists should copy the same.
Numbers Don’t Lie
The latter might just be true. We have all witnessed how Tanzanian artists gather a million views on their songs in just a few hours; unlike our own. The numbers are in favour of their music. The likes of Zuchu, Diamond, Harmonize and Rayvanny are posing a very stiff competition for East African artists. Harmonize’s recent song dubbed ‘Attitude’ was the most recent to break the record. Konde Boy’s song fetched over 100 K views in less than an hour. Even though he was accused of buying views, it’s evident that he’s one of the best hit makers.
However, Kenya’s Otile Brown is up to the game. To begin with, the ‘Dusuma’ hitmaker is the highest musician with most subscribers on YouTube; standing at 766K subs.
His music has been able to gather a massive audience; making him the top Kenyan musician. His latest song ‘Such Kinda Love’ featuring Jovial, already has 2 Million views on YouTube and was released just 2 weeks ago. Most Kenyan songs would take a month or more to hit such views.
