Lutty Neika is taking a wait-and-see approach before joining any musicians’ body.
The singer says he has deliberately stayed away from signing up because he still wants a better understanding of how the organizations operate and what they offer artists.
During an appearance on Sanyuka TV, he explained that although he has friends in the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF), he is not ready to become a member just yet.
I am not signed to any of the music federations, but I have friends in the federation [UNMF]. Maybe, with time, when someone explains to me very well how it works and everything.
Rather than rush into joining, Lutty Neika said he hopes to first speak to Martin Beta, the UNMF’s Head of Research and Development, so he can better understand how the federation works.
I think I will look for Martin Beta so he can explain everything to me.
His cautious approach mirrors that of fellow singer Liam Voice, who earlier this year admitted that he had also held off joining the federation because he wanted a better understanding of its objectives.
The federation has its objectives, and I also have my own plans. It is not that I do not believe in the federation, but I have not yet fully understood what it does.
UNMF, led by BET Award-winning singer Eddy Kenzo, serves as an umbrella body representing musicians and industry associations across Uganda.
For Lutty Neika and Liam Voice, however, understanding the federation comes before becoming members.
