Welcome! Your 're Catching us Live on Kenyan Music Studio
Motto: ” Tuff times neva last, but only tuff people last ”
Meet Auma building a career on her own terms with just a microphone, a pen, and unshakeable self-belief. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Auma reveals how she navigates the male-dominated Kenyan music industry, fights gatekeeping, and pushes her own boundaries to create authentic art. From her early days singing in church at age three to releasing her debut single Lost Confidence, Auma shares the behind-the-scenes reality of transforming passion into independence in Africa’s music scene.
We break down the systemic barriers Kenyan artists face, including the harmful cycle of external validation and overlooked local talent. Auma emphasizes the critical need for systemic support and real curation because Kenya has a goldmine of talent that’s waiting to be recognized. The music industry might be a dog eat dog world but you know what's not this episode, tune in for hidden gems.
Takeaways:
- Authenticity as a Disruptor
Building true influence requires unwavering authenticity rather than conforming to industry norms. Experience life as art and make art that reflects life
- Building Systems for Support Before Global Validation
Much of local talent remains underappreciated and unrewarded until they achieve external validation highlighting a systemic failure to nurture indigenous talent from within their communities first.
- Stop Gatekeeping!
Food for Thought?
What is a necessary change we need to empower local artists? and how do YOU contribute towards that change?
