Songwriting has often been overlooked yet lyrics serve a key role in every song. In the digital age of viral videos, most artists desperately hope onto current trending phrases and/or topics to chase traffic or stay relevant. Intellectual writing skills are bound to make timeless music which should be the goal. This in mind, Mdundo Artist Support dedicated a month to songwriting and offered 5 top candidates, the opportunity to learn from a renowned Kenyan song writer.
Mdundo Artist support, has a music related theme every month with the intention to guide and equip rising artists with skill and hacks to perfect their art. Musicians looking to grow have access to a wide range of articles, marketing tools and resource opportunities.
2019 saw Mdundo put up the site MDUNDOFORARTISTS.COM specifically dedicated to music content creators. Here artists can easily navigate and learn different aspects of music as an art and as a business.
Mdundo Artist Support Manager, Christine Kiplagat emphasized, ‘We understand the investment that goes into creating good music and targeting the correct audience, while still feeling fulfilled as an artist. We hope to see music pay bills for musicians, so we at Mdundo try to the best of our ability to provide support for our rising artists to achieve the same.’
Despite the global pandemic that disrupted normal operations, switching all activities to digital platforms took place relatively fast. The directive to work from home rudely interrupted the artist support project for March 2020; Free Photo-Shoot for rising artists under the theme Visual Branding.
As the whole world hopes for normalcy to return, Mdundo continues to work closely with budding musicians taking advantage of the digital space in its entirety.
