Starting from scratch is something difficult especially when you ain't having no one to show you the way. Imagine your parents are the only people that knows how to cook in a broken pot and all of the sudden the bid farewell to meet their ancestors. How does it feels inheriting that broken pot from them. The entertainment industry have been describe literally as a broken pot on several occasions yet our entertainers are doing their possible best to patch it up.
In a third world country where the people don't financially support their crafts, it's hard to survive. Award winning artist Jyzno have once again expressed his frustrations ahead of his debut Album release date. He took to his social media handle to expressed how it feels like being an artist in Liberia as he brings forth to the table the way forward to the situations on board. It's now time we stop blaming everything on the war.
"We came and never met a structure, no international connections, no union to strengthen us financially when We have big projects, no lessons or class for branding or even learning music, no big stage or platform to help push us globally,
no streaming platform to pay something good for a hit song, no big labels to help change our lives based on our Art, big event in Liberia pays foreign artistes more and pay us very less...I could name few!!! But some people will say it’s because of the war" He wrote.
The fact that big event in Liberia pays the foreign artists more than them, It have gotten to the Kpan Kpan Me hitmaker nerves as he literally blames it on the Music Union of Liberia president tagging him as an unserious person.
He fear that they gonna pass this broken industry on to the next generation if changes ain't made sooner rather than later. If they that saw their parents don't know how to cook in a broken pot not able to patch it how will their children who didn't see their grandparents be able to cook in it?
He further wrote
"WE THE NEW SCHOOL ARTISTES and MANAGERS are struggling and suffering.
If we can’t come together and work on getting a better Union in order to have a serious and competent person to lead us as Union President, to put in place a structure that would help build and improve lives, to represent us both in and out of Liberia, to bring a change that will uplift talents by opening doors for investors, to treat us right and be transparent, and to also teach us how to love instead of hate,
THEN, THE NEXT GENERATION OF ARTISTES MIGHT SUFFER AND STRUGGLE MORE THAN US!"
Jyzno describe Entertainment as is a building and life changing tool. Calling on his fellow entertainers to wake up!.
