Gloria Bugie Discusses the Challenge of Male Musicians Wanting More Than a Professional Connection

Gloria Bugie, a rising star in the Ugandan music scene, has opened up about some the challenges she has faced since her breakthrough with the hit song “Nyash.”

During an interview, she discussed how despite these obstacles, she remains focused on her goals and refuses to let anything hinder her progress.

One of the most difficult moments in her journey occurred when a nude video of her was leaked, an act aimed at undermining her newfound fame. This incident tested her resilience but did not deter her from her ambitions.

Bugie also discussed the struggle of forming genuine friendships in the industry, particularly with male musicians. She explained that many male artistes often seek more than just professional relationships. When she declines their advances, it can lead to personal tension.

This issue extends to collaborations, as Bugie noted that some male musicians expect sexual relationships as a condition for working together. She believes this challenge affects many young female artistes, making it harder for women in the industry to collaborate with their male counterparts.

Bugie pointed out that female artistes who give in to these demands may be desperate to succeed, but she stressed the importance of patience in developing their music careers.

To emerging female artistes, Bugie offers this advice: prepare yourself both financially and mentally to resist these pressures and stay true to your artistic vision.
