Daddy Owen says he is disappointed that gospel ministers expecially singers have now turned to clout chasing as a new tactic to push and sell new music. According to him, this is something he ever thought gospel artists would be cool with but to his surprise – turns out majority have been doing this for years.<\/p>\n

However speaking during recent interview, Daddy Owen made it known that he has never believed in power of clout chasing….since this is a temporary stunt that lures fans for the wrong reasons….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I do not subscribe to the school of thought that all songs need “Kiki” before releasing, a journalist just asked me “why dint u release this good song when your story was trending?” IMO I feel such clout takes away the real message u want to pass across (considering I am Gospel Minister). He said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Time to change<\/h3>\n

He went on to add another point of – not every song needs hype to be big and this only happens when an artist believes in his own content….a point many kenyan artists continue to miss out on.<\/p>\n

Some say “But it’s working” and I respect that, but kuna zingine even me as your fan I feel like the hype is bigger than the song! Some of us concentrate on pushing the song n hype around it more than concentrate in giving out deep content!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>

For this reason – you end up having an artist lose his entire career just because he over hyped a project….which fans later found to be useless or in polite words….shortchanged.<\/p>\n

As a fan u wait for the song\/video only to find out u were shortchanged! What an anti-climax! We can do better!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And of course you have all seen how gospel artists have slowly started slipping into the secular industry….because there, it’s all about faking it until you make it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
