Dr Lover Bowy says he spent just Shs 70,000 promoting breakthrough hit ‘Welaba’

  Singer Dr Lover Bowy has revealed that he spent only Shs 70,000 promoting his breakthrough hit song Welaba, which gained popularity three years ago and helped him rise to fame through TikTok. The singer says his experience is proof that good music can find its audience and become popular without requiring huge investments in promotion. Speaking about the song’s journey, Dr Lover Bowy recalled how a woman he met at a bar in Bweyogerere became interested in managing his career before Welaba had gained traction. He said the woman, who was selling slippers and shoes at the time, believed in his potential and insisted on managing him for an extended period. According to the singer, he later suggested that she organise a show in his home area to help push his music. They reportedly organised the event on a budget of Shs 250,000, with Dr Lover Bowy requesting that tickets worth Shs 70,000 be printed, knowing that the money would be used to promote his music.

Let your music talk; stop attacking fellow artists – King Michael’s advice to Kid Fox

  King Michael has advised fellow dancehall artist Kid Fox to spend more of his time in the studio producing good music instead of attacking fellow artists online . Since his return to the music scene after decades of absence , Kid Fox has become a nuisance for various artists, both older and younger ones.

King michael believes this was Kid Fox’s tactic to regain the attention of the public, but it cannot sustain him any longer without the backing of good music for his fans to consume. People have different frustrations, and everyone wants to achieve their goals in a particular way. If Kid Fox, after all the years he spent working abroad after his music retirement, returned with such rowdy tactics, it’s up to him. But that’s not an easy path. I’m not certain he will achieve his goals that way. He should rather be grateful and respectful to the artis...
