How We All Failed In Bali Music Industry

Bali as a local Government Area has been in existence for more than fourthy years now and so as entertainment.

Entertainment in Bali is something that started long ago,

For the past 15 years, the industry has raised and discovered good talent and till date talent are still on discovery.

We have dancers in their categories, Singers/Rappers, comedians, MCs, Disc Jockers(DJ) and so many other set of talents.

In 2009, we had the gentle breakers association. Its an association of 6 Dancers

Stonzy, Fizzy, Thuqzy, pizzy Neczy and paczy.

Their ability to dance was discovered in the era when PSquare where so much interested in breakdancing.

They started by Copying from the twins, seeing from their dance steps and getting in touch before they got to acquire some steps they all prove to be theirs and not a copyright any longer And from there,they got more recognition within their environment and outside..

After some period of time, they 6 turned their ability to Dance into Singing and rapping Abilities.

They all became balling figures as they represent Bali within and outside in music competition and concert coming back with several awards in every trip.

During that time, the music game was really recognized and appreciated through the likes of P.Mos, Python etc.

The keep doing their stuffs to entertain their people in the local level, as non of them have the idea of promoting their music online or airing them in radio stations.

As time goes on, the young ones started seeing from them and getting inspired, I can remember vividly that Nigga A-I was among those that started the game for lon,13 bullets is also not left out.

During the time A-I came into the game , he did some unbelievable things dispite his young age. He won several awards like World clocks and other gift of appreciation.

2014/2015, XSnoop, Dapix, MC Forge , X-Sunnic Angel, MC Hannie Break in like fire.

Its obvious that they have been doing the shit but they were damn hidden. Because the kinda forces they came with, shake the entertainment industry.

They were all good and till date, their presence keep the industry growing.

2016, we got to know Deejaz.

His late brother was once an icon and a legend to be remembered as far as Bali Entertainment Industry is concerned.

Deejaz came in and he got a fast recognition in a little time,

It is because his brother was once an artist in Bali?

Did he come to replace his brother?

(Unanswered question in peoples mind).

2017 was the year we got a lot of new artist in which some of them are now kinging the game.

We gat artist like Sam Fino, Austeen Aul-Cena, Crown P, just to mention but a few.

So, let's not go into history and forget our topic of discussion.

THIS IS HOW WE'VE ALL FAILED IN BALI ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

Apprehending from the brief history above, one can say or an artist from Bali can say we on our path to greatness. Which might either be true or false depending on how you every individual will see it.

Though its from perspectives and believes or what ever but the untold truth is yet to be discovered in those minds.

Its obvious that we've gone this far discovering talents in a daily basis but some little things have hold us captive. In my search, the major things include:-

1) CORPORATION

The biggest challenge we have been facing in Bali Ent. Industry was lack of corperation.

We have failed big times in the cost of this verb.

Everybody is seeing himself a genius forgetting that we can't move mountain in a single struggle. We've had so many meetings in favour of the entertainment industry but it later on turned to insults and side gossiping about each other.

We owe ourself a bigger apology for putting up what we don't deserve.

This goes to the individual whose thought for greatness has made them turn their backs on fellows.

Its not about what you gat but what people are saying about you, what legacy you've left behind for the industry when you gone.

The problem wasn't too big to be tackled but getting the attention of the intruders because some of the are ignorant.

2) COORDINATION

The issue with coordination have also went wrong but its not what can hinder the progress of the industry not until there is corporation.

We've all heard about the State level industry, where everything is moving smoothly in their place.

 We need leadership, leaders who in place of the Bali ent.Industry will represent us at the state level and as well safeguard our activities.

But the truth is without corporation, the mindset of choosing a leader or requesting for leadership won't get to us..

3) SHOWS

Because we lack corporation and coordination, our shows have always been a big mess up. The biggest show we've had in history was "Bali Celebrity Nite" which was an initiative movement program by Comedian Triple S in colition with the Entertainment industry.

But for real we need something bigger than that.

Though its at an average, but the concept of fighting in show is yet to be define.

Its silly and ridiculous seeing an artist backing or leading a group of thugs to course disorderliness or disturb the peace of audience and fellow entertainers because he or she has been denied show or time couldn't permit him to perform.

This are things we should get ride of before it affect us badly.

4)STUDIO

This particular aspect of the problem will be discussed in two areas.

"Recording Studio and Photography Studio"

Studio is one thing that promote an entertainment but the situation where you are lacking it or you need reformation is an error.

(Recording studio)

As far as Bali Entertainment industry is concerned,we need more than one recording studio.Its at it best when artist work with different producers because every producer has his own kind of ability to make sound and mastering

Lighthouse studio being the only studio we have and

PKP being the only producer we have, had more job on his hands to reform his studio to allow excessive flow of abilities as its implies in every mind that our background or where we roll determine how fast we grow in productivity.

(Photography studio)

Our show posters have heard much insults from people which is indirectly going to us in the other side. Its neither their faults nor ours. But because we lack a photo studio to ease our work and to enhance our entertainment body.

In so many times and so many occasions, our pictures have been rejected by graphic designers because of its lackness in quality.

You can't expect a show poster to be at it best when you offer a phone camera picture with lack of portrait and inadequate sharpness.

5)Lyrics

The effort we apply in our lyrics, to be frank needs improvement.

Permit me to say this, its my obligation working as a blogger to tell you this.

I have listened to some songs from our own artistes, that baffles my thought but I can't admit it because the truth is always bitter.

Telling your fellow artistes his or her flaws, will get you in soup or in big trouble with him or her.

Am like using this opportunity to advice us,to be straight forward in what ever we are doing. As we all hoping to make it through music, let's put our effort in it.

Some our artiste has made it a tradition to be going to the studio in a daily or weekly basis to record a track which we are not well prepared of.

It doesn't matter if you have 99 songs to your credit, but what matters is how many of them are hits.

It doesn't matter if you spend 20 Years writing your lyrics but what matters is make a hit out of it.

Music needs time, inspiration and composure. Rushing our lyrics, cracking our brains to get inspired is an error.

After all you go,comeback from the studio and start bashing the producer blaming him for your own mistakes.

6)Promotion Strategies

Some of us never believe in promotion packages.

We are Now in a non-corobalize world, a world where everything thing happened by or through technology. You aren't expected to go around sending your songs on tape as its been done in the past which will be more stressful in a civilize world like this.

The use of the internet has made easy our means of communication and transmission of information.

Your dues as an upcoming artiste looking for stardom is to pay your bills which promotion is one of them.

Its not a bad idea if an artist make friends with bloggers who will feel free and hype your song for a little token.

Our artistes have been Brain washed by fake life, trying to get recognition by force.

Information just reaching me recently that our artist are looking for who to sell their songs to.

I laughed at the whole scenario and said to myself some people have played Penalty to Throw in.

Imagine, a ball in the box facing the goal post, 11 to 12 meters away, a player kicked it to throw In.

I guess that will be the most awkward moment of my life as a player.

All you need is promote your song then wait and see what God will do for you. Presenting yourself in that way entails that you are cheap.

Pay bloggers to do you work, air your songs if you there are needs.

Plan the budget from your earning, weather daily, weekly or monthly earnings.

Set aside money for your productipn, and promotion from there you know how to use the remaining for your upkeep.

And finally, let's all remember God. Aside the life God give us, talent is one big thing to ever happen to human being.

"LETS GIVE TO GOD WHAT IS HIS"

Our prayers and thanksgiving alone can move mountain so let's not neglect the work of God.

(ADVICE)

Let's all see this as a challenge and work for change in Bali Entertainment industry. We can do it..

Thank you all.
