- Music production and promotion remain expensive for Ugandan artists
- Liam Voice says he is always working on projects despite fewer releases
- Financial constraints influence how often artists can drop new songs
Ugandan singer Liam Voice has opened up about one of the music industry’s longest-standing struggles — the high cost of producing and releasing music.
Speaking during an appearance on Galaxy FM, the “Omwoyo” hitmaker explained why fans shouldn’t expect him to release songs as frequently as many would like. While audiences in Uganda have grown accustomed to fast-paced releases, Liam Voice says the financial reality behind the scenes tells a very different story.
“Music is expensive. It’s not just about recording a song and putting it out,” he said.
“I may not release songs every week, but that doesn’t mean I’m not working. I always have projects in the studio.”

He emphasized that the pressure from fans for constant releases doesn’t always match the resources available to artists. From studio time and production to promotion and distribution, every step requires significant investment — something not all musicians can sustain regularly.
According to the singer, he is consistently in the studio working on new material, but carefully spaces out his releases to ensure quality and proper rollout. Rushing to meet demand without adequate funding, he suggested, can compromise both the music and the artist’s long-term growth.
His remarks reflect a broader issue affecting many Ugandan artists who are balancing creativity with financial limitations in an increasingly competitive industry.
