Jamal Dismisses the Idea That New Music Is a Must for Bookings, Emphasizes Quality Instead
Popular RnB and Reggae singer Jamal Wasswa has challenged the belief that artistes must release new songs in order to secure bookings for performances.
Speaking about the music industry today, Jamal shared that show organisers are not necessarily after fresh releases.
Instead, he believes that the quality of an artiste’s music matters more than how recent it is.
He pointed to his own career as an example, explaining that despite not putting out new music lately, he still receives plenty of bookings.
As artistes feel the pressure to keep up with new releases to stay in the spotlight, Jamal focuses on timeless music rather than fleeting trends.
For him, it is not about how new the songs are, but how deeply they connect with people. Good music will always find its way to the stage.
