Ugandan singer Karole Kasita has challenged fellow musicians to think beyond Uganda and work towards building international music careers, saying local fame should not be the ultimate goal for artists who want to make it big in the entertainment industry.
The singer believes that being popular and celebrated at home is not enough, urging musicians to broaden their ambitions and position themselves for opportunities beyond the country’s borders.
According to Karole, artists should not become too comfortable with local recognition but instead strive to grow their brands, reach wider audiences and compete on the international stage.
Her remarks have sparked conversations about the ambitions of Ugandan musicians and whether the local music industry is doing enough to produce stars with international influence.
With Ugandan music continuing to gain attention across the region, Karole’s message is a reminder that there is a bigger market beyond the country’s borders, and musicians need to dream bigger if they want to take their careers to the next level.
