Andrew Bajjo allies Bajjo the managing director of Bajjo Events, has publicly expressed his resentment toward musicians who raise their booking fees.
They are sick of hiring singers like that who leave them insolvent, claims Bajjo. They will consequently soon release a document listing the artists to boycott. He continued by saying that the majority of these singers demand exorbitant fees. When they arrive, they sing karaoke for a short while before leaving, leaving the promoter with unpaid debts.
This is a warning to all parties involved, according to Bajjo Events, not just singers. He mentioned people who own venues and companies that make sound equipment, among others. Bajjo also provided a price list for some of these artists.
“As the president of the National Promoters Association (NPA), I want to state that we are starting a war against musicians who raise their prices to absurd levels. Such people force us out of business while profiting, so we can’t keep working for them. We’ll soon let you know which artists and venues we’re skipping because of their excessive fees. “
For example, someone like David Lutalo or Kenzo should be given 7M instead of the high 15-20M that you can’t recover from them. Bebe Cool goes for 1.5m, Chameleone 5m, Sheebah 5m, Juliana 3m, Mudra 1.5m, Zex Bilangilangi 800k, Pinky 500,000, etc.,” he said.
He claimed that the majority of these artists demand fees even though they are unable to draw a crowd. Additionally, according to Bajjo, these singers have turned away most promoters from doing business. And in his case, it’s the reason he doesn’t bow for any singer.
Brayz Media has learned that some internet users are not pleased with the new rules that have been proposed for booking artists in Uganda.
