Dokta Brain: Not All My Songs Are For Everyone

Dokta Brain, a singer and songwriter, has shared insights into his creative process, suggesting that some of his musical pieces are not universally accessible upon first listen.

He believes that certain songs are specifically designed to connect with other creative individuals or those who possess an understanding of the technical aspects of music creation. Dokta Brain feels that the way talented songwriters package their work can sometimes make it more appealing to peers within the industry than to the general public.

As an illustration, he pointed to his track “Street Culture.” While the song achieved success on streaming platforms, Dokta Brain noted that its reception on YouTube fell short of his expectations. He attributes this to a perceived difficulty among many Ugandan listeners in grasping the song’s core concept.

“I wrote it because it was to be loved more by artists or people who are talented. I overpackaged it like a will,” he explained.

Dokta Brain also disclosed that some of his songs were initially intended for sale to other artists. However, he ultimately decided to release them under his own name. He mentioned “Nkuwulila,” a duet with Kataleya and Kandle, as an instance where potential buyers either declined due to being occupied or failed to fully comprehend the song’s essence.

“Some of them didn’t understand it. So I took it, and in three weeks it had about 6k views on YouTube,” he added.

This perspective highlights a nuanced approach to songwriting, where artistic integrity and creative expression sometimes take precedence over immediate mainstream appeal.
