After a seven-year sabbatical from talent management, renowned artists manager and consultant Emmanuel Mulondo a.k.a Emma Carlos has revealed that come June, he will officially be returning to the field that he knows best.
Before taking a break, the artist manager had introduced several artists onto the Ugandan music scene who turned out to be successful not until he mutually parted ways with them.
These include among others Spice Diana, Coco Finger and Kalifah AgaNaga. There are other musicians he gave a head start at their music career.
According to the artists listed above, there is no doubt that Emma Carlos wasn’t a successful manager because all the years he spent with the artists they performed at their peak and enjoyed the limelight of the industry.
For example Spice Diana was at the peak of her career, she kept giving her fans hit after hit.
He also managed the good lyf musicians: the late Mozey Radio and Weasel Manizo. However they fell out before he decided to take a break from artist management.
After over five years, the artist manager has informed the public that he is making a debut into the music industry.
In June, he stated that he shall be revealing the new artist he shall be managing.
In his submission, he referred to his soon-to-be-unveiled artists as a ‘cocktail’ of Winnie Nwagi and Rema Namakula and warned artists to stand alert noting that his musician is going to come to displace some musicians who have been on the ground for some time.
Emma Carlos noted how his artist has recorded good music with the top-notch producers in the country including Nessim, Washington, and Renix among others adding that soon and very soon, they will be dropping an album that will thrill music lovers.
The dynamics of the music industry have changed since Emma Carlos managed artists back in the days.
We only hope that he has analyzed these dynamics and he is willing to adopt.
