Following his appointment as the Chief Executive Officer of the Music Copyright Society of Kenya (MCSK), Ezekiel Mutua has outlined a few promises to the music industry.
He says he will work to ensure that musicians’ profits are meaningful.
“To all Kenyan musicians, my message is simple: I will work for you and with you to make music profitable and meaningful. I will fight for you, defend your rights and put conversations about music at the front table as I did with film. Together we shall raise the quality of Kenyan music and restore the lost glory of the industry. I am your champion,” he wrote.
Further, Mutua appealed for support as he hopes to revive and reposition the music industry.
“MCSK belongs to musicians and my brief is therefore to fight for your welfare. I appeal for your support as we begin the journey of reviving and repositioning this great industry.
“To the MCSK Board of Directors, the wonderful colleagues that I have met so far, to all our stakeholders, to my friends and fans, thank you for the warm reception!” he added.
This comes amid concerns among artistes who think that Mutua’s appointment is a disappointment.
According to these musicians, Mutua didn’t do anything for the film industry when he was the CEO of the Kenya Film Classification Board, KFCB.
