Musician Dokta Brain broke down in tears after several artists he has reportedly written songs for failed to show up for his press conference ahead of his maiden concert, The Doorkey Experience.
Dokta Brain has built a reputation behind the scenes of Uganda’s music industry, writing songs for established artists and helping several upcoming musicians find their breakthrough moments.
However, the songwriter was left visibly emotional after the artists he had supported reportedly failed to turn up and stand with him during an important moment in his own career.
The painful incident has sparked fresh conversations about the often ruthless nature of Uganda’s music industry, where artists and industry players are sometimes accused of supporting others only when there is something to gain or when a collaboration can generate attention.
