KENYA MUSIC INDUSTRY-DJ LAIDOXX

For a very long time the Kenyan music industry has been below the charts compared to other countries. some say its due to marketing,while others blame it on the production..and if this doesnt pinch enough,others blame it on lack of talent ,originality and lack to bring to table the type of food that is edible...

Well...its true or maybe not,it depends with you,your thoughts and your opinions...
Anyway...someone said a time back that the only way to solve a problem is by identyfying the problem and then you can start from there.So the big question that we should be asking ourselves is whats the problem?.Is it what we talk about each and everday,under sheets or in public??...

By now i know that the big question on your mind is .."where is this guy heading with this?"..ok i will tell you.

Kenya just like any other country in Africa,Asia or any other continent has talents too..so talents not the big issue.Now lets look at the production.Giving my opinion as one of the djs in Kenya i feel like this is not an issue too..I mean,i play local music at events and all i see is people dancing and enjoying the songs,of course i dont play local music only..I have to sneak it in between the mixxes so as to get a positive feedback from the audience,but if i played local music only...

Anyway,let me save you the thinking, i think the problem with the Kenyan music industry is that there is not enough air play,movie shops forced to play music from other countries because they cannot afford to buy the licence to play local music.That is the major reason as to why we dont prosper in music industry just like other countries,because when we are buzy making laws that deminish our music..other countries are busy making room for more and more exposure in their country and other countries.

so now that we know the major problem,let me give you the best way to solve it.STOP,the bann on movie shops from playing local music,because if radios play less and movie shops dont play any,what do you expect the citizens to listen to if not going to the internet for a remedy to their music disease. As i conclude,i leave you with this.."you cannot compete when you are not in the battle field"...and with that i rest my case.
