Ragga Dee’s Appeal to Musicians: Write Music that Touches Lives Deeply

Daniel Kazibwe, better known as Ragga Dee, urged musicians to focus on creating songs that hold sentimental value and celebrate significant life events.

He expressed concern that many artists work hard yet struggle to earn a decent living from their music.

This situation is particularly disheartening given that their songs often receive substantial airplay on television and radio.

Ragga Dee believes music should be more than just entertainment; it should connect with people’s lives and emotions.

He used his own career as an example, sharing how his hit song “Letter O” opened doors for him and led to a successful partnership with a condom brand of the same name, O.

He also mentioned another popular song, “Kamukube Empeta,” which he wrote with the intention of performing at weddings.

This strategy paid off, as he received many invitations to perform at wedding events, showcasing how targeted songwriting can lead to successful gigs.

Ragga Dee highlighted the importance of creating relatable songs. For instance, he cited Pallaso’s “Happy Birthday,” a track played at nearly every birthday celebration.

He also paid tribute to the late Philly Bongole Lutaaya, whose Christmas songs are still cherished each December.

Lutaaya’s ability to capture the holiday spirit has made his music a beloved tradition for many families.

In conclusion, Ragga Dee encouraged musicians to craft meaningful music that resonates with people’s lives and becomes part of their daily experiences.
