Ugandan dancehall singer Mark Da Urban has pushed back against Bien’s comments about Uganda’s music industry, arguing that Uganda’s fast-moving creative scene is a strength rather than a weakness.

Kenyan singer Bien says AI-generated music is already more common than many listeners realize. He believes artificial intelligence should be embraced as a creative tool that helps talented musicians produce more music while warning against overreliance on the technology.

Kenyan singer Bien-Aimé Baraza has shared his perspective on Uganda’s music industry, explaining how a single hit song can keep an artist booked across the country for an extended period.
