Sadly, several local musicians like Lydia Jazmine, Sheebah Karungi, Gravity Omutujju, and Ray G among others are hesitant to join the association.

“I have never been convinced that associations help musicians. I want somebody to convince me to join for valid reasons. They have no direction, for now, that is why I am not part,” Ray G explains.
It should be noted that several musicians in the regional parts of the country are not part of the association.
