Alexander Okidi, a renowned radio personality has urged musicians to focus on making music, not noise. "Guys, go to the studios, record songs, and entertain us," he advises.
Okidi believes musicians should communicate through their art, not words.
"You are happy, you sing. You are sad, you sing. You get a new side chick, you sing," he says, emphasizing that talking should be limited to promoting their music or having fun.
According to Okidi, excessive talking can expose weaknesses, and musicians should instead channel their emotions into creating new songs.
"You have a misunderstanding with a fellow musician? Go to the studio and sing about it," he suggests.
Okidi cites examples like "Pe Tego Lawinya" and "Matala" "Pe itwero Swaga Na" as songs that turned situations into opportunities, urging artists to do the same. "Make music, not quarrels," he says.
He took to Facebook to pen down a long post and below is his advise to artists:
Our music artists are talking too much.Guys go to the studios,record songs and entertain us..Leave talking to political leaders.
Musicians communicate through singing...
You are happy...you sing.
You are sad... You sing.
You get a new side chick..you sing..
If you must talk,it should be about your new songs and upcoming events that you will attend or just for fun.
Over talking can expose your weaknesses that people wouldn't have known if you remained silent.
Musicians shouldn't quarrel like women...You have a misunderstanding with your fellow musician,you go to the studio and sing..
What I mean is that all situations whether good or bad should turn into an opportunity for you to make new songs which helps to advance your music career.
For instance,songs such as Pe tego lawinya, Pe itwero Swaga na by Lumix and many others were conditional songs.
When Mambo separated from 2 Stas,he didn't quarrel but released the song "Matala,"...ngat acel acel omak matala ne wek mone obed pe...
