Bass Boi Warns Producers Over Inappropriate Conduct Toward Female Artistes

Concerns about inappropriate advances toward female musicians in recording studios continue to surface in Uganda’s music industry.

While appearing on Sanyuka Uncut, Ugandan producer Ayo Bass Boi, born Michael Mulonde, addressed the issue head on.

He was quick to distance himself from any form of misconduct and urged fellow producers to treat studio work strictly as business.

You have to focus. This is a job, so you have to focus on the job. You have to know what you came to do. If you focus on women, then your job will fail.

Asked whether working with female artistes presents different challenges, Bass Boi said his approach remains the same regardless of gender.

It is the same experience with females and males. It is just that naturally, women want more attention and care, but still business remains business.

He also tackled the issue of late night studio sessions, which some critics have tied to questionable behavior.

According to him, the timing is about workflow, not secrecy.

We also work during the day. It is just that some musicians like recording at night when there are not so many people at the studio, because during the day there are many people. And at night it is quiet.

Bass Boi insisted that discipline and professionalism must guide every session.

In his view, the studio is a workplace, and the focus should remain on the music.

Working with female artistes is strictly business. This is work, and professionalism is essential. – Bass Boi#SanyukaUnCut #SanyukaUpdates #FfeBannoDdala pic.twitter.com/XPf9NWGdoz
