Spice Diana Explains the Secret to Building a Music Brand That Lasts
Spice Diana has spent a decade in the music industry, building a brand that remains strong even without a trending hit.
Over the years, she has found ways to stay relevant and maintain her position at the top of her game.
In a recent interview with YouTuber Kaiyz, the Ugandan songbird explained that building a lasting brand involves much more than just releasing songs.
She compared her approach to global icons like Jay Z and Beyonce, noting that they continue to hold influence even during breaks from music.
I think it is a lot of things. Being a brand, for any musician, is not just about singing. That is why musicians like Jay Z and Beyonce, even when they take time without releasing music, remain relevant. When they release music or go on tour, people still appreciate them.
The “Siri Regular” singer went on to stress that a strong brand is about connection and impact beyond music.
It is many things. It is how people relate to you, what you have done for the community, and how you carry yourself. It is not just about singing. There are many aspects that make up a musician. Some people think you only need a hit or to release music constantly, but you have to engage in many things to be a fully packaged artiste, a brand, not just a musician.
She credited this mindset for her lasting relevance in Uganda’s entertainment industry.
For me, it has been many things, not just music. That is why I have remained relevant. Whether I have actively sought relevance or not, it will find me. The name Spice Diana is bigger than anything I do. It comes first, and that is how it should be.
Spice Diana’s reflections offer a rare glimpse into the mindset of an artiste who has stayed ahead in an industry driven by hits.
