Hey there…here’s a fun fact: Namibians hate themselves. I know…unsolicited much? What’s that age-old saying…”truth hurts”? However, in this case…I don’t think the truth hurts. Whoever this truth applies to…is actually quite comfortable with the truth. That’s my honest assessment. Whoever this truth applies to is quite comfortable in their hate for themselves as Namibians....
As a creative practitioner…it was unbelievably refreshing to hear and read about the governing party Swapo and its candidate….now President Dr Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah consciously included the arts and creative industries in their manifesto. This is probably the one time in all of the election cycles since independence that the governing party, along with its elected representatives, has placed so much...
Last year around this time, I signalled an ode to our beloved Omes, late president Hage Geingob. The situation dictates that I do it one more time again. This time around, it is for our beloved tatekulu, father of the nation and the first president of the land of the brave. Hopefully, there will not...
Arts is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Furthermore… the arts have various branches of creative activity such as painting, music, literature and dance. Music is what...
The weird tendency of people jumping on stage while the master of ceremony (MC) or artist is seeing out their duties is something I’ve been meaning to discuss on #IndustryLoop. At live shows, what often happens is revellers get a bit too excited…and as a result, they end up on stage to either dance or...
#IndustryLoop is a concept I gave birth to during my early days at Unam Radio. The original idea was to have a segment featuring an ordinary citizen who happens to love music to rate new Namibian Hip Hop songs with brutal honesty. The ordinary citizen at the time was Dr Francis. The segment caught instant...
The recent spat between Afrikaans rappers Ixa and DiChef has me convinced that we are a nation of hypocrites. I think at this point…we just need to own up and accept it. Listen, I’ve always said that I will have more respect for someone who owns up to their manure ways. That comes with a...
The year is 2025, and here is silly old me… all positive and hopeful that this year, the creative industry will get the respect it deserves from Namibian society. Where comments like “Get a real job” or “Sorry, we do not have financial or housing schemes for creative freelancers,” will come to an end. Silly...
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...
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...
