Ted Josiah says Sauti Sol will not have a legacy

Ted Josiah was surprisingly not being malicious or being a hater when he said that 20 years from today, Sauti Sol will have been forgotten. On the contrary, he was saying this to place blame on the Kenyan government.

According to him, he said that it is all down to the fact that the GoK doesn’t try to celebrate our culture whether traditional or contemporary and Ted Josiah is probably borrowing from his own rich history and experiences as a super producer.

“The boys are doing good right now, but I can assure you in 20 years no one will be talking about them. They will have been completely forgotten.

You know why, because, as a country, we don’t do enough to preserve our own music culture and legacy. In other countries, you will encounter culture centers that tell stories of their music legacies. We no longer speak of Fundi Konde, and Daudi Kabaka, all these were great artists, but there is nothing to show off their journey. Nobody talks of us now. The same will happen to Sauti Sol in future”.

Ted Josiah went on to add:

Ted Josiah pens emotional letter to his late wife 

“I have never earned any royalty from the music I produced. We have failed systems that only benefit a few individuals. The collective Management organizations (CMO) supposed to be acting on artists and producers’ behalf are nothing but a scam. They collect our money as royalties and award themselves the biggest share. Ezekiel Mutua, who is in charge of MCSK, and all his processors have all failed. So I thought to myself, why continue hitting the studio to make another hit just to benefit someone else. It’s of no point. That’s the reason I quit producing music,”
