Vinka Admits She Does Not Fully Write Her Songs
Vinka has opened up about her songwriting process, revealing that she has never written a song entirely on her own.
During a chat with NOW Media UG, the singer said she usually works as a co-writer, contributing to songs alongside other writers rather than handling them alone.
No, not really. Maybe co-writing. That is why when you check, you will see my name among the writers.
Her admission touches on a long-standing debate in the music industry, where some artistes face criticism for relying on songwriters.
In many circles, especially locally, using writers is often viewed as a weakness, with some fans questioning an artiste’s authenticity.
Vinka, however, pushed back against that thinking and described it as misguided.
She argued that songwriting and performance are different strengths, and not every artiste has to excel at both.
I think it is ignorance. People who criticize that are ignorant. Even the biggest artistes are written for, like Beyoncé and Rihanna. Someone may be good at writing, but Vinka is good at delivering. I could deliver your song better in my style. It is very okay.
By pointing to global stars like Beyoncé and Rihanna, Vinka framed her stance within a wider industry reality, where collaboration is common.
