Warrap state artists are almost losing meaning or talent in the music industry given on the following highlights and resolutions
Music talent is a natural ability to understand and identify music concepts, pitches, and off-key notes so easily. So talent is a natural gift, not a commercial purchaser, you cannot buy it in any business market in the world.
As a result, music all over the world is a business and is not even about praising someone infulential but all about good attractive musical beat and rhythm that has meaning to entice the listeners. Your faults in the music career as artists/musicians of Warrap are here outlined below. At the end, there are resolutions to demonstrate that it is not too late
1. Apparently, you are the majority in the music industry because greater Tonj alone, according to their last month election held at Mellenium Hotel, are 177 artists who voted, greater Gogrial and Twic is the same case, only in Juba and all of you wants to perform in a single function, can you just imagine the vacuum created
2. Single beat or rhythm [ Mabok, Macop] being used by every artist with the same sound and just few number of people praised are only different in the song, but the rest is similar .. is this talent anymore, miith Wuonda?
3. Launching of album which has become a culture, every artist wants to launch his songs in Freedom Hall or Nyakuron with the same guests which were invited in mr. X's launching yesterday and expecting them to support your music financially or materially. They will not agree to come, and that's why most occasions lacked completely a single guest because there are 104 weekends figuratively 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays, and 90% of those weekends days are album lauching of a single State, Warrap just imagine the gap
4. Provisions of free entry, free drinking water/soda, and chairs to over 890 attendees for the case of Freedom Hall and heap hopes only on guests who would not come, then you became the most looser.
5. Praising too many people in a single lyrics, literally, praising people is good in music companions by our great grand father's talent, i.e., Bol Akot, but when they became too many, the song first would be boring, side begins to be taken by those whose their name didn't appear in there and people begin to withdraw their support silently without telling you.
6. Emotions of dedicating song to someone who wrong you. This is a few of the worst career ending modalities to say bad words in the songs against someone's without justifications. Everybody would feel suspicious, and the love for you will be dropped. Remember, it was just a love of talent and can be withdrawn or terminated any time there is
7. Praising every community in the song that doesn't match the talent
8. Some of you don't put much control hot drinks which may seriously fights the music career
9. Some of you don't protect themselves from women-fans or male-fans for the case of female artists
Po*******hy carry talents a lot more than disease
10. You lacked support a lot, in other way you don't support yourselves as artist of WS.
It is not too late to observed and look into them base on the followingresolutions on my personal opinions;
1. All of you need to have a union where you discussed all issues regarding your style of producing songs
2. Entrance should be made commercial for your fans to pay something for them to get in.
3. Don't praise influential/ordinary people or otherwise minimize them in a song if necessary.
4. Don't compose emotional songs to anyone who annoy or wrong you in any way
5. Stick to your career and make more money
6. Don't feel angry or sad when you are not given a chance to perform in an occasion, function, birthday party or any other ceremonial events
7. Make your fans feels happy at all courses
8. Make friendship and collabo with both local and international artists to boost your music profile
9. Look for the songwriter and make sure you adjust your lyrics so that it doesn't sound like for your brother or sister
10. Protect yourself from enemies and diseases, and from being carried away by unknown disease remember, most people are sick and they will not tell you
Otherwise you Warrap State artists are the best
May God bless you all dear beloved artists
