Every musician, new or old on the block has a reason as to why they joined the music industry. For some, it was just a wave and the tides swept them towards that direction so they ended up following the already famous musicians, labeling them as their inspirations.
For others, it was a childhood dream, one they had always worked hard to achieve so when a chance arose, they decided to take it on while for a few musicians, their level of musical talent is the sole reason that led them to join the Ugandan music industry.
For Tom Dee however, the major reason as to why he joined music was money. Having been a content creator on Tiktok for a while, Tom Dee met the realization that content creation, specifically on Tiktok took a whole lot of time and effort in order to make earnings and the earnings also turned out to be very low .
With his content creation prowess however, he decided to get himself into music, hoping for a brighter future and higher earnings. While speaking on Television, Tom Dee mentioned that just like everyone else, the major inspiration for anything is money and in his dire need for it, he decided to join the music industry.
“It was money. Just like everyone else, my biggest inspiration was money. I was well known for content creation, majorly on Tiktok but I soon realized it was so time consuming yet the earnings were low. I therefore decided to venture into music for higher earnings. It was all for the love of money.” Tom Dee stated.
According to Tom Dee however, his biggest music audience was built by his content creation and therefore it is content creation that helped in boosting his music career.
“The first time I went to studio, I followed musician called BB Zander. When I heard the way he recorded, I felt like I could handle it too, being a content creator. I then decided to make use of my huge following. If they had liked my content enough to follow me, they could definitely be my first fan base.” Tom Dee said.
