Joshua Baraka Denies Claims of Hoarding International Music Contacts

Fast-rising Ugandan singer and songwriter Joshua Baraka has strongly dismissed allegations that he is selfish with his international music industry connections. The artist, who has been steadily expanding his footprint beyond East Africa, recently addressed critics who accused him of hoarding valuable global networks.

Speaking out on the matter, Baraka clarified that he has never intentionally withheld information or contacts from anyone in the local music fraternity. Instead, he pointed out a lack of genuine initiative from some musicians who expect life-changing breakthroughs without putting in the necessary effort.

According to Baraka, a number of local acts prefer receiving opportunities effortlessly rather than focusing on the rigorous process required to make it on the international stage. He emphasized that building a global presence demands serious dedication, strategic focus, and resilience.

The ‘Dalida’ hitmaker noted that he is more than willing to open doors and share vital industry insights with upcoming or established artistes who demonstrate real drive and ambition. However, he remains hesitant to hand out connections to those who lack clear goals and expect success on a silver platter.

Baraka’s remarks highlight ongoing conversations within the Ugandan music industry regarding collaboration, mentorship, and the challenges local talents face as they try to cross over into international markets.
