As you guys know I am a Musician who sings and I think that last hear is when I started to take my music way more seriously colliding with the Album and the single that I have release currently I have 9 songs out, and a few months back I have decided to do everything in my power to get my music across, so I have met after months and months of exchanged E-Mail with this really big Italian manager, who discovered people like Cesare Cremonini (a legend in Italy) Modà (very famous rock group back in the 2010s) and who made Coez's song La Musica Non C'è a massive hit. So once there I have given him some of my songs who were clearly Kinshasa House based a lot of drums Kakol Style and a lot.of traditional instruments on it and of course with a lot of Lingala on top of Italian and what he said really broke my heart, so much so that despite me being a lover of music, I always have my headphones on, I made the return trip from his office to my home jn the car without listening to A single note of music, with just the road sounds with me thinking on the car.
He told.me that I was good, but Italy wasn't ready for this hypnotic style of music and that my music was too much monotonous.
Tbh I can understand him saying thst my music was monotonous or hypnotic but what really made me go crazy was the Italy is not ready for this type of music, like how? Have you spoken to all the 60 milion Italians and they told you so? Or is just a preconceived notion that you have on me just because I put Lingala.in the track? Then after that he told me that my style is more suited for this type of song



And I was like... OK
And I left. So from then on I took a singing teacher and I am trying to make my style.more "Italian"
This is to show you how sometimes a lot of Euro African artist have to change their style to adapt, I am sure that things like this are what Gims, Djadju, Stromae, Naza, KeBlack, Youssoupha, Niska and many other have to went through to get their music played. If you were at my place what would have you done?

It depends in your term of successful there is this troll rapper called Bello Figo Ghanaian who now lives in Italy,  who has received a massive success but with him playing stupid so I don't think thst can be called success when you make a full of yourself just to get views





And then there are these rappers a duo from Brescia who are from Ghana in origin I think


Who made some sort of success with this song called Beef




And another one called Thick



And another called Onlyfans





Then another one called J Lord


Who is really good but is still failing to reach top level success, despite him being really good
