Ahem.
It helps.A lot.And you're right about this;that it's one thing to like something you hear on radio,but it's another thing all together to go out and buy it.Something I would so love to tell local artists,if I had the chance.All they do is release singles that get played on local stations,and that's it.I'm sure the stations tell then,hey,we helping expose you,no way we paying royalties,you should be paying us.And there's no rcord companies in this country,just studio owners trying to be like record companies,and wanting to own your stuff coz you record in their studios.There's virtually no infrastructure.You never going to hear of,say,an entertainement lawyer in this country.Ever watched a Kenyan movie?No?Didn't think so.I can't say the industry here is phucked up.No.It doesn't exist.But hey,Marconi did his job.I'll do mine.
