Otile Brown Weighs in on Tanzanian Music Domination

Otile Brown performed in Mombasa on Saturday, August 5, to a crowd of enthusiastic fans. The singer and his bodyguards fought their way through the crowd to get to the stage, as girls screamed their adoration towards him.

After his performance at Mama Ngina Waterfront, Otile also performed at Club Volume, where a hyped-up crowd showed him the adoration he deserves. The show was dubbed the most anticipated show for county 001.

Speaking at the Moi International Airport, where he was received like a hero, Otile weighed in on the fact that Tanzanian musicians are dominating Kenyan music viewership lists.

In an interview shared on Club Volume’s Instagram, the “Dusuma” singer did not hold back. “I am not surprised,” he said. “Tanzanian musicians are putting in the work. They are making good music, and they are promoting their music well.”

Otile also said that he believes that Kenyan musicians need to step up their game if they want to compete with Tanzanian musicians. “We need to start making better music, and we need to start promoting our music better,” he said.

Otile’s comments come at a time when Tanzanian musicians are enjoying a lot of success in Kenya. In recent months, several Tanzanian songs have topped the Kenyan music charts, and Tanzanian artists have been performing to sold-out crowds in Kenya.

Otile’s comments have sparked a debate on social media, with some people agreeing with him and others disagreeing. Some people believe that Tanzanian musicians are simply making better music than Kenyan musicians, while others believe that Kenyan musicians are not promoting their music well enough.

Only time will tell if Otile’s comments will motivate Kenyan musicians to step up their game. However, one thing is for sure: the competition between Kenyan and Tanzanian musicians is only going to get more intense in the years to come.

Kach Girl had done several tattoos to honor her favorite celebrity and had been trying to contact him for a long time. The dinner date left her emotional, proving that Otile is a caring celebrity.

However, Otile Brown is currently in mourning. He lost his unborn baby a week ago and has been grieving the loss.

It is unclear whether Otile Brown will pursue a relationship with Maxwelll Mwamburi or Kach Girl. However, it is clear that both of these people are very interested in him.this is a clear depiction of sexual harassment as a member of the LGBTQ brigade is pursuing a man who has clearly stated he is a straight African man with zero interest in men.

Otile Brown Re-Kindling His Love With His Ex Is A Red Flag

Award-winning singer Otile Brown is on the verge of reconciling with his Ethiopian ex-girlfriend Nabby after they broke up years ago. The musician recently posted a video of himself heading to Ethiopia; which is the place that his ex resides.

Ever since their break-up. Otile has remained single & there’s been no sign of the singer being interested in dating again.

In 2021, Otile has shared a beautiful photo of his ex-lover while wishing her a happy birthday. His message insinuated that he was still in love with her. He described her as ‘the most beautiful and amazing soul he knows.

”Happiest birthday to the most beautiful and amazing soul I know @nabbi__ more life wins, and happiness,” he wrote.

He once claimed his biggest challenge while wanting to date is knowing whether a woman is genuine or not.

Otile advised other people in the industry to find love when they are still struggling.

Otile Brown pours out his heart to Vera Sidika after their dramatic breakup

Never Revert To Your Ex

Otile has had several options; considering his impeccable celebrity status. He once dated voluptuous socialite Vera Sidika. But it seems like the singer is making-up with Nabby, something which he shouldn’t do. It’s pretty obvious that what led to their break-up might manifest itself once again.

 

Otile Brown’s birthday post dedicated to ex leaves fans convinced he still wants her back

Otile Brown could not hold back from celebrating his ex girlfriend’s birthday – even though they are said to have parted ways a few months.

Well – despite their differences Otile Brown has always found a way to bring her up on his posts…be it Valentine’s Day or her sister’s wedding – the singer always celebrates Nabbi. Okay last i checked ex couples dont do such things….so am I missing something or Nabbi is that one girl Otile Brown refuses to let go of?

Anyway to mark another year of her life, Otile Brown through her social media pages went on to write;

Happiest birthday to the most beautiful and amazing soul I know @ Nabbi_ more life, wins and happiness.

Still an item

For some reason the caption used by Otile Brown makes it sound like they could still be together and maybe still working around long distance relationship.

Well after Vera Sidika did character development on him a few years back, Otile Brown has been limiting what he posts on his social media pages; and since then the only other woman we have seen around him is Nabbi…and looks like that is how its going to be.

Otile Brown feeling unappreciated

Otile Brown has lately been maintaining a low profile unlike other years where he’d be making news for both right and wrong reasons.

However, after his breakup with Ethiopian girlfriend, the fella then decided to stop publicizing his private life on social media. So yea it’s either projects or beef or better… inspirational posts.

Well, thanks to a new post we want to believe that Otile Brown feels that we’re living in a generation where no one wants to appreciate each other for their efforts.

Him being a singer -I’m thinking maybe he feels his music isnt receiving the recognition it needs – simply because no one cares. He wrote;

See how we sacrifice so much just to please the world people that don’t even care….

Which is true….imagine how much time he spends writing and composing a song – the budget the music costs; and when released – netizens try to pull it down by criticizing it and  the media on the other hand – doesn’t give it sufficient air play.

Not cool

Of course even you would be disappointed. But then again – Otile goes on admit that he is aware that most people from this generation have mental health issues; which is why he no longer cares about some of the shade he receives from haters.

Its a depressed generation with fly pics & fake smiles. Be happy for you.

Judging from the hashtag we also believe this post was aimed at promoting his latest song Celebration where he talks about the importance of knowing your worth, celebrating yourself and doing what makes you happy.

Mmmh clever way of marketing his music right?

Otile Brown Releases Statement Following His Deleted YouTube Songs (Screenshot)

Otile Brown’s predicaments remain unsettled after his top songs were haphazardly deleted from YouTube on 6th October. His songs, Dusuma, Aiyana, Watoto na Pombe, Chaguo La Moyo were among his best performing songs with over 3 million views each.

Otile’s manager was also in rage when he addressed the issue; and promised to take legal actions against the culprits involved.

”… Basically what it means is this is somebody who has access to the account. And for us, we already know who that culprit is… We want to make sure that as soon as this is handled, nobody will ever repeat such a thing..”

In the latest statement revealed by OB’s management, he has reiterated over taking legal actions and ensuring that he’s doing all it takes to bring his songs back.

” We cannot get into specific reasons that led to the deletion but we would like to assure you that we took up the issue with out legal team, partners and with YouTube/Google who confirmed that there had been an issue but assured us that they are working to resolve, restore and reinstate the content.

We endeavor to keep you updated as more progress is realized…”

When they first came needing you, they came humble asf. I believed in you & still gave you what you asked to be given. Why are you mad?

Otile Brown and girlfriend, Nabbi

For months we haven’t spotted these two together which leaves me wondering whether they are still together or not!

However the last time people assumed that their relationship had ended; they ended up proving many wrong!

But judging from how they’ve been on an on and off relationship; it’s evident that the long distance is making them bitter or lonely hence the online drama.

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.

Artist Michael Bundi: How a troubled past has shaped him, and inspired a reflective, heart-tagging release dabbed – Favour (Video)

What inspires you?

A deity? Fancy heroes in flowing capes? Inspiration coaches with catchy, flowery word play?

Heroes walk amongst us, unseen.

The journey towards self-actualization is riddled with uncertainty. Challenging scenarios will crop up – drive and focus is divided.

Its harder, still, for creatives whose crawl from obscurity to the limelight is filled with pitfalls.

This is an inspiring story of a gifted artist whose passion for arts and music bit hard.

Have you had a walk in the rain, with the furious wind pushing against your chest, heavy stinging rain drops on slapping your face? This is close.

Artist Michael BunDi.

Up close, Michael is laid-back, soft spoken. Kind of reminds you of your little brother. As suffers most creatives, he doesn’t talk much.

Like a duck waltz silently in a pond, yet furiously paddling beneath – creatives will be calm, inner battles suppressed.

This is a lad gifted with the rare artistic combo of a singer’s voice and instrument proficiency. He’s skilled in music production, and built his own studio.

Talking of battles, Michael has had quite a handful. While Michael was born into a family with a musical figure head (his father is a singer and music teacher), society wouldn’t bend backwards to understand his passion for music.

This meant a troubled childhood, changing schools often, et al. At some point Michael fell into depression, and toyed with suicidal thoughts.

Why does Michael spell his other name with an upper case letter smack in the middle, as in “….BunDi….”?

Luckily, with a touch of providence, Michael overcame this to fuel his passion in music. In a short time, he’s made a name in the region as a prolific Reggae artist.

He’s since released a string of hits, but what has made Michael straddle the reggae scene like a colossus are his iconic covers.

If you doesn’t live in a cave, you’ve certainly listened to his reggae cover for Baby Love, originally done by Otile Brown. That garnered an astonishing 1.7m views!

The bummer with covers, though, is that original artists always monetize the covers, thus grabbing all YouTube revenue. Worse, they issue copy strikes – again, not a good thing in music.

Michael has decried this (in)justice and has since teamed up with progressive management to concentrate fully on own compositions.

Since, Michael has featured Zzero Sufuri to release Wisdom, a catchy reggae jam.

In a bid to bid riddance (excuse the pun) to a difficult past, Michael is back with a poetic, emotion-provoking release – FAVOUR.

Michael says Favour is ‘…like a prayer to me…’, and it is. Its deep, reflective and tags at the strings of your heart.

They say a man comes out stronger at the other end of the tunnel, and Favour defines Michael’s burst into the sunshine.

There’s loads to sample from Michael Bundi’s versatile list – he boasts of over 500 releases! For a glimpse to his profile: click here, or subscribe on YouTube.

This is a pathway to Favour, watch and give your two-cent worth about it.

‘It’s Not About Us’ Otile Brown Shames Artists Who Think COVID-19 Has Affected Them More Than Others

Coronavirus has affected everyone in one way or the other. A great number of people have felt the pinch of heavy taxation on essential products. To make matters worse, the curfew in the country was adjusted to 8 pm; this is the time when some businesses do well.

Anyway, most Kenyan celebrities had previously joined hands to admonish the president to unlock the country; unless there were measurements put in place. Their efforts bore no fruits. One of them was Otile Brown.

The COVID-19 Effect

The singer has also disclosed how the lockdown has immensely affected his International deals. Speaking in an interview on Kiss FM with Jalang’o and Kamene, the 27 year old revealed that he had even planned to go to Sudan initially, but lockdown disrupted his plans.

”Nadhani kwa kila mtu imemlemea. It’s tough on everybody. But we’re coping. It’s sad kwa sababu sisi wenyewe tunajua jinsi tunavyofanya kazi. Tumepata bookings nyingi sana. Maana tayari tulikuwa kwenye maongezi na watu… Yaani International gigs. People were reaching out already. Kila kitu.

I remember the first lockdown tulikuwa tunaenda Sudan. Hiyo yote ilikatizwa na kila kitu.

Artists Should Change Their Mindset

Additionally, Otile says that artists should stop thinking the virus has affected them more. Every Kenyan has suffered.

”When you say, wasanii waone vile watasaidika, we make it seem like it’s about us. I know it’s not about us. I know kuna wasanii ambao hawapo vibaya mwisho wa siku. Wanaeza take care of their families at the end of the day.”

 

“Hizi ni gani tena?” Fans react after Otile Brown features teenage socialite, Shakilla in new song

Although many claim that Otile Brown could have found a better vixen for his music since Shakilla is known for her wild ways; but at the end of the day, there is no bad publicity in this industry – whether positive or negative it’ll still work.

Singer, Otile Brown

Not quite sure why – but judging from the comments left by fans; most seem to detest her presence on this video as claim she brings nothing but bad vibes.

Come on give her a break.

Reactions from fans

Well, just to prove how petty some of these fans can get, Ghafla managed to capture screenshots showing from the comment section.

Shakilla slaying on haters

Although each one of the fans is entitled to their own opinions; this time around it’s obvious to see that they could be hating on Otile Brown for nothing. The singer having to feature Shakilla was part of the business because at the end of the day they both need to put food on the table.

Otile Brown explains why it’s hard for a Kenyan artist to make it big in the music scene

Kenyan or rather local artists have alsways been pressured into becoming super stars; and for some reason, their fans also want to high quality videos – just like they see with the likes of Bongo artists and Nigerian.

What many don’t know is that most of these big African artists have ‘godfathers’ who helpnsupport their music finally. This was however explicated in depth by Otile Browns new post that has left many talking.

As seen on the post, Otile Brown goes on to advise local artist not to be pushed into such pressure; as music has never been easy for an independent artist who goes out of his way to release (songs, videos) that they can afford.

Speaking about this, Otile wrote a long post saying;

Singer Otile Brown

I think Kenyan artists should be respected ????. All of those ‘big artists’ y’all compadre is with, they have Godfathers who hold down and where now that they have made it, their godfathers are still putting money on their projects.

Explains why it takes time to blow up

On the  same post, the singer cum song writer went on to explain to fans; why most local artists have to slowly grow in  the industry.

According to Otile this is because they have no option but to depend on themselves in terms of financials. The singer went on to add;

Our growth has to be slow and gradual coz we are always doing it all by ourselves, no label; no investors and remember we ain’t from rich families.

For more details read his post below that has left many artists applauding him for speaking on their behalf.

Magix Enga is did big things in the local music scene in 2020

Kenya has no shortage of good music producers. However there are some whose work is a cut above the rest. One such person is Magix Enga.

You see, a beat plays a big part in determining whether a song will go viral or not. The lyrics and video are just meant to spice it up. You want to debate this?

If you are keen, I’m sure you’ve noticed that the beats for most viral Kenyan songs are always from three to four local music producers, one of them is Magix Enga.

If you hear, “Magix Enga on the beat” when a song is beginning, you just know that your eardrums are about to have the time of their lives. Where is the lie?

His greatest work to date (according to me of course) was Dundaing which was one of the biggest songs in 2018. Actually, it was the biggest!

Other songs that he has produced are; Digi Digi by Arrow Bwoy, Wembe by Timmy Tdat, Fire by P Unit, Dala Dala by Otile Brown, Matiati by Zzero Sufuri, We Run This by KRG. The list is endless.

If  you listen to the songs that he has produced, you’ll notice how distinct the beat is. It’s different from the norm. Perhaps this explains why anything he touches turns into gold instantly.

In my opinion, Magix Enga, who has been in the game for 10 years now, is taking Kenyan music to the international stage, with his signature beat, one song at a time.

He is showing us that it can be done by actually doing it. One day, when all is said and done, we’ll have him to thank for making Kenyan music enjoyable and helping artists to cross borders with their music.
