EDDY KENZO IS UGANDA'S BIGGEST ARTIST TODAY
Musuuza Kenzo at first was inspired by Uganda's former top 5 artists that's Jose chameleon, bobi wine, radio & Weasel and Bebe Cool and he wanted to be like them, he tried to get close to them but he wasn't granted opportunity because he was a nobody though one of them welcomed and mentored him.
He worked hard trying to bring something different and new from what they knew by then, and some of them said ''that kid called Kenzo can't stay for so long in industry because they believed he was just a dancer that had no talent at all'' forgetting the world's most iconic music names were built by dance ie Michael Jackson, Prince, Chris Brown and many others.
He didnt give up but rather focused on his dream.
He started shaping the industry slowly in his own way, first he introduced fashion to the industry, artists started looking smart and it became so easy to differentiate an artist from fans. he filled the music with life, that's the moment when Ugandans started listening to happy music, stress killing music, dance music, dancers started getting respect and value because Eddy Kenzo continued to show the world how important a dancer is in terms of entertainment and as we speak the first ever Ugandans to step on BET AWARDS stage to perform are dancers ( Triplets ghetto kids).
People continued to love him and to also grow with until now when we can openly say he is uganda's biggest artiste. Like it or not, Eddy Kenzo is now bigger than any Ugandan artist you know regardless of how long they have stayed in the game or their ages.
Here is some of what makes him the biggest artist in Uganda today. (Bitter Truth)
* Eddy Kenzo has never recorded a flopped show both home and away. People turnup in big numbers ( numbers don't lie)
*Eddy Kenzo is the most decorated artist from Uganda, most awarded (awards are given to the best of the best)
*Eddy Kenzo is the most traveled Ugandan musicians ( He has traveled to 105 countries) for performances with over 35 of them being full stadiums and arenas.
*Eddy Kenzo makes the highest number of digital music sales from Uganda .(his music is sold on over 50 international music stores,numbers don't lie)
*Eddy Kenzo is the most viewed Ugandan artist on YouTube with over 230M total views ( numbers don't lie)
*Eddy Kenzo serves the biggest number of audiences worldwide ie he is so popular in West Africa, Europe, Central Africa, East Africa ,South Africa, South America,proof is a number of successful shows in those areas. And many more other things
Whenever you want to compare or rank artists, put ur most emphasis on numbers because in music it's the numbers that tell who is who. It's not words, it's not how long uve been in the industry, it's not about your age, it's not about how many songs you have, it's strictly about numbers.
To all starting artists out there, take Eddy Kenzo as an example, at once he was last but today he is first.
You can even be better than your mentor. You can be better than your inspiration. Today Eddy Kenzo is musically bigger than all those guys that he used to watch on TV. They can't charge as much as he charges worldwide, they can't collect the numbers he collects worldwide.
It's just good that he even at such a level, his respect for them has never reduced
Work so hard and believe. For those that have got somewhere, don't undermine anyone however low they may look.
