@JohnKayWriter, Chairperson - SWAU:
quotes
โWeโre honored to lead songwriters to earn from IP thatโs as valuable as a car or land.โ

It was a pleasure representing the Uganda National Musicians Federation (UNMF) at the Songwriters Association of Uganda engagement, where, in my capacity as Director of Research & Development, I presented the Copyright Management System (CMS) and its role in strengthening copyright management, monitoring, royalty administration and protection of creatorsโ works.
The engagement brought together SWAU, UNMF, URRO, URSB, Makerere University, songwriters and other creatives to discuss songwriting as literary work, copyright, publishing, ownership and the business of music.
I thank SWAU, a member association of UNMF, for organizing this important engagement, and all our partners and creatives who participated.
Our goal remains clear: creators must understand the value of their work, protect their rights, own their creativity and earn from it.

.@JohnKayWriter has spoken out on copyright ownership, saying songwriters and producers are the legitimate owners of the music they create.
Thoughts?

At one of the lowest moments in my life, I recorded โNkulinze Okoleโ while unwell, I believed God would heal me, and He did. I pray this song brings you hope and healing.

.@JohnKayWriter: We have not treated music as a career; instead, we have treated it as a means of survival.
Most of our artists, whom we expect to elevate our country to greater levels, have settled for the bare minimum.

.@JohnKayWriter: Things have changed now. Way back, we used to write rhymes into poems, but now most songwriters have adopted freestyle writing.
In the past, you would realize you hadnโt written a beautiful story because you hadnโt given it time.

John Katerega: I guess we have a very bad mindset towards who should earn what but you will realise that when you go out there to the streaming platforms money that is meant for a songwriter an artist doesn't get it.
