Otile Brown -There's no international artist in East Africa

In a bold statement, Brown challenged his East African counterparts to strive for international recognition in the music industry.

He emphasised that currently, there isn't a single East African artist who has achieved international acclaim comparable to Nigerian singer Ruger.

According to Brown, the East African music industry is yet to produce an artist of the caliber of Ruger, who has garnered remarkable success within a short period.

He urged fellow artists to acknowledge the reality of the competitive landscape and work diligently to elevate East African music onto the global stage.
