Industry Loop – 2024? Sharp is ook alright! 

 I think we can all agree that 2024 was dramatic AF! I have a theory as to why 2024 was so dramatic. My theory is simple… Katt Williams! Since Club Shay Shay dropped that podcast with Katt Williams in January…it’s been a mess. It’s almost as if everybody in the industry just said “f**k it…let’s...

Industry Loop – To expose or not to expose…part 2!

Last week’s edition of ‘Industry Loop’ in which I interrogated whether one should expose clients who owe you money for work done or not, seems to have inspired many to expose. Albeit only to me, this was inspired by recent events in which Dj KBoz exposed a client for not paying up and for ghosting...

Industry Loop – To expose or not to expose…mmmmm

DJ KBoz recently exposed a client who had not settled their debt for work done.  However, this may be shocking for some, but for people like Yours Truly who have been around for more than a decade, this is not the first time clients have been exposed by creative professionals like DJ KBoz for not...

Industry Loop – NSK’s monthly favs finale

At the beginning of this year, I started a movement in which I would share my playlist of Namibian songs.  I did this the whole year.  Music is an extremely deep sport for me.  So, to have to do this every single month was exceptionally challenging.  It is officially December. I will round off my...

Industry Loop – NSKs monthly favs: Sep/Oct

I have been slacking on our monthly tradition. I might as well apologize seeing that is all I have been doing of late. Anyhow…if you are new to this, allow me to contextualize this for you.  Every month I share a personal playlist of strictly Namibian music. When I say personal, I mean this is...

Industry Loop – Award season!

 For years, I tried to sensitise Namibians through my work on this column, that the creative arts is more than just music. Because that’s been the common perception for years. Let’s call kapana, kapana please. In the land of the brave, music is the only form of creative art mos, kama. Everything else under the...

Industry Loop – It’s Film Month MFs!!!

I am sure every single professional Namibian actor is sick and tired of getting questions like… “Where can we watch the movie?” “You say you are a professional actor, but we do not see your stuff on Netflix?” “Mara, where can I watch Namibian movies?” I think I speak for all involved in one way...

Industry Loop – Creativesummit 2024

A few weeks ago, Namibia witnessed its first-ever Creative Summit. The space brought together a variety of industry players, who deliberated on various issues about the Namibian creative industry.  The summit was organised by Mindscape Events, who closed off the proceedings with a music show, themed ‘The economy of talent: Unlocking the developmental agenda of...
