REVEALED: Tribulations of Kenyan Music Producers

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all from artistes; their drama and endless controversies, the guys who make them what they are are also fed up with some of them.

Ace Gospel producer/ video director has opened up about what artistes take them through in their quest for stardom and when the same is achieved they bite the hands that fed them.

In a Facebook post, an unamused Young Wallace reveals that 90% of artistes will scatter once they’ve started becoming a huge deal.

He writes;

90% of Kenyan artists are so ungrateful especially to their producers once they make it big. So to all the producers out there, both audio and video, established and upcoming, you need to watch out before that selfish self-centered artist exploits you in the name of making your name and therefore getting rid of you immediately after success begins knocking at their doors.

Focus on doing your best and make sure that you eat what you deserve. Don’t fall for their sweet words coz at the end of the day they are the ones who will drag your name in the mad that day you will begin charging them the production fee. When it comes to matters of signing an artist, make sure
that it’s professional, well defined and signed in a contract that has been witnessed by a lawyer.

I am sharing with you, my fellow producers this advice based on my experience as a video producer and my intention is to help you grow and rip your fruits just like you deserve. Work
Hard, Pray Hard and believe in your dreams. And to all the artists out there, An ungrateful man is like a hog under a tree eating acorns, but never looking up to see where they come from.

Be blessed.

I wonder how many how producers share Wallace’s sentiments.
