Why musical legend Tedd Josiah is strongly opposed to his kids pursuing music
He went on to showcase music sheets his daughter had shared with him noting how she’d expressed a desire for him to teach her how to work a few instruments, a move that was weighing heavily on his shoulders.
“Now, Jay comes and tells me she has been given music and I have to help her learn keyboard and piano. Yeah, I have a studio at home but the tough question is, do I want my child to cling on to music for it to become something she loves or even blossoms at and also doesn’t receive royalties?
Do I want that for my child? All the corporate boards are in shambles right now, so much confusion! Yet there are gifted people being born daily, and there’s no support for said people,
I don’t know if I want my kids to ever be musicians! I don’t want them to feel the pain I am speaking with right now! All that anger of I have put my heart, mind, body, soul and money into this thing yet not a single shilling!” Tedd emotionally shared in his online rant.
Captioning the post, the father of 3 wrote, “My heart bleeds and hurts when I think about what I’ve given Kenya.
All my youth, using my gifts and talents to build the music industry only to earn ZERO royalty because of a broken system made intentionally broken by people who are busy building palaces with artists money! May God intervene,”
