Comedian Chipukeezy has defended local artists for the stagnation in the industry.
He said co-existent between the agencies mandated to protect artists and the artists themselves is the only way the industry will thrive.
"A solution is of paramount importance or the blame game will elevate to divide us as artists of different mediums, yet artists were born to c0-exist," he said.
Chipukeezy, who has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, said career breaks also help artists to re-strategise.
"In perspective; after a six-year recap of various seasons of the soon-to-return Chipukeezy show, you could tell the impact a platform and guidance can bring to an industry," he said.
Comedian Eric Omondi has been at loggerheads with artists and event promoters for letting the industry down.
But Chipukeezy said the lack of stand-out industry leadership and proper governmental or non-governmental policy structures are the major blowbacks they face.
"I believe that the implementation of better working policies that favour artists will elevate the creative economy," he said.
"We need a government task force...compromised of government stakeholders and artists who experience all the challenges and achievements first hand."
He described Kenyan music as diverse, hence, cutting across all continents.
