• Lydia Jazmine’s September concert will not be live-streamed; performances will instead be recorded for digital release.
• She plans to release individual performances on streaming platforms before compiling them into an album.
• The singer says artists can use digital platforms to create additional revenue from content they have already invested heavily in producing.

Ugandan singer Lydia Jazmine has revealed that her One and Only concert scheduled for September will not be streamed live, as she instead plans to record the entire show and release the content across digital streaming platforms to create additional revenue.

According to her, the decision is part of embracing the digital era and finding ways for artists to recover some of the money invested in putting together major shows.

“When you make a show, your content is powerful and has a lot of money-making opportunities,” Lydia Jazmine said, explaining that she has picked up the strategy from fellow artists including A Pass and Steve Jeans.

Rather than giving audiences a live stream of the concert, Lydia Jazmine plans to professionally record her performances and release them individually on platforms such as Spotify and other streaming services.

She explained that if she performs approximately 45 songs during the concert, she can upload the performances one by one and eventually compile them into an album, allowing her to continue earning from the concert long after the event has ended.

“If I plan to perform about 45 songs, I upload them one by one on streaming platforms like Spotify and then compile them all as an album,” she explained.

Lydia also revealed that A Pass helped her understand the financial potential of monetizing concert content digitally. She recalled seeing the singer’s streaming earnings from a concert he held at Serena Hotel.

“A Pass showed me his account balance from the concert he had at Serena Hotel and he was shocked,” she said.

For her, the strategy makes sense in an increasingly digital music industry, where a concert does not have to end when the final performance is over. Instead, the recorded performances can continue generating revenue through streaming platforms.

She acknowledged that the approach requires artists to put in more work and investment, but believes the potential returns make the hustle worthwhile.

According to the singer, artists need to embrace such opportunities so that the money invested in staging concerts can continue working for them through different digital ventures.
