PLAY KE: From Movement to Mere FOMO?

Written by Edwin Agesa on Wednesday, 17 September 2025. When the #PlayKE movement first caught fire, it was more than a hashtag. It was a rallying cry to support our own, to make sure Kenyan music got the airplay, respect, and recognition it deserves both at home and abroad.

The Double Standards Kenyans Hold Against Artists Paid by Government Events

In Kenya, public sentiment towards the government is at an all-time low. Skyrocketing taxes, economic hardship, and frequent scandals have fueled an anti-government wave—especially among the youth. So when an artist performs at a state-sponsored event, the backlash is often swift, harsh, and deeply emotional. But this public outrage exposes a deeper contradiction in how we treat our creatives: we want them to thrive, but only on our terms. Recently, […]

KAMP’s Historic Milestone: A Win for Kenya’s Creative Industry
