Lil Pazo speaks out on the disconnect between fans and educative music in Uganda

Lil Pazo has shared his concerns over what he describes as the growing disconnect between fans and educative music in Uganda.

The artist says that strict content regulation by the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) could leave many musicians in poverty if they are not allowed to perform the kind of music their audiences demand.

Lil Pazo revealed that his experience with fans has shown a clear preference for simple and entertaining songs rather than those aimed at education.

He claims listeners often tell him they have grown tired of overly educative music.

If you want to ban my music, start with understanding my audience. Have you seen me sing at Seeta High School or at Fresh Kid’s concert for the kids? My audience is for mature people, and I perform at night. My music goes through their phones, and they pick the songs themselves.

He argued that the most successful artists today are those who cater to audience preferences. Lil Pazo referenced to Gravity Omutujju as an example, noting that Gravity is currently one of the most booked musicians in Uganda due to his ability to connect with fans through his chosen style.

According to Lil Pazo, the demand for entertainment over education in music is a reality artists must adapt to if they are to thrive.

He urged stakeholders to understand this dynamic instead of imposing restrictions that could stifle the industry.
