“I’m not doing this for fame although I just borrowed some business ideas and brought them into music. I can safely say I am aiming higher to reach those heights. If you look at the video, it’s of good quality.”
Kata encouraged aspiring artistes not to take their music as a hobby or just for fame, but should treat their work with respect.
“We need to brand our music and get support from promoters for our music to be recognised in other countries,” he said.
