The reality is no single disciple will be enough to keep the lights on. You need a side hustle.

If it’s one thing I know about Top Cheri…with every interview, she always makes reference to her hometown Walvis Bay.

The last time I dedicated a column to someone was Gazza and people called it d**kriding. Today’s edition of #IndustryLoop is dedicated to Pombili Shilongo.

Some would call what I’m about to express your classic textbook case of ‘dickriding’. 

And we are back with Volume 3 of my annoying rekindled love for Namibian music! I really want to say that this will be the final volume in which I abuse you with my rekindled love for Namibian music, but we ‘tog’ all know what new love does to a person;

Since my last edition of Industry Loop, before Arrafath’s passing…I was on a serious mission to rekindle my love for the Namibian music journey, simply because it has been a minute since I spoke about and actually listened to Namibian music. 

It’s been a minute since I spoke about Namibian music or even listened to Namibian music. Namibian music has been so far down my priority list that at some point, it was just not top of mind anymore.

Here is to another year of the same BS in the entertainment and arts industry! Year in year out, same issues that never really get addressed.

I still think the industry needs an awards platform. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact that Simply You Magazine Lifestyle and Fashion Awards are serving and now the Spectrum Awards, which is fantastic...kudos honestly. But we all know we need a national awards platform the size and magnitude of the NAMAs.

DJ Soso joins a long line of Namibian creatives who gave this country their all, but did not get the monetary appreciation and respect back from their countrymen. The fact that we have so many Namibian entertainers who have passed on without getting the respect and monetary appreciation while still alive, is exceptionally worrisome.
