Hiplife artiste Tic, formally known as Tic Tac, has expressed worry over the decision of event organisers to always book some specific artistes for programmes.Â
Tic in an interview with KMJ on Hitzfm reveal that event organisers constantly call some particular artistes while others have been sidelined.
“If you check the last quarter of 2018, it was the same artistes that were being booked for almost every show,â€Â
He further explained that the music industry is blessed with musicians with different styles and vibes that need to be shown to the people.
“Once you create the environment where everybody has a gig then we’ll have a variety of acts at the shows,†Tic told KMJ.
Using artiste Bless as an example, Tic said, many people enjoy his song, “Tsotsomutso†and others but he is hardly considered when organisers are booking arts for shows.
The “Kwani Kwani†singer urged industry players to make a deliberate attempt to mix the arts when organising shows.
“If organisers want to book ‘Artiste A’ for a show, they should also consider presenting the same opportunity to ‘Artiste B,’ he said.
â€We have different talents to take the music forward, not just the older generation but new artistes who can establish themselves at the shows,†Tic added.
He stated that some new artistes who do not know much about the music scene are sometimes taken advantage of.
“Give opportunity to everybody. You’ll be amazed to see the kind of talents that crop up,†he stated.
