"You have to accept and change with the times," said Gravity Omutujju while appearing on NBS Kurt, defending his style of music.
"They may say I sing trashy songs but they still buy them. And when I go to shows to perform, they will be excited to see me perform."
He continued: "We sang inspirational songs like Money (a collabo with David Lutalo that was produced by Diggy Baur), Winner (produced by Ronnie On Dis One and Rinex), Omwoto (produced by Jose Pro at Avie Records) a long time ago. We've tried to advise the country but no one listens."
Went on Omutujju: "TikTok has over 3k motivational speakers, can you outshine them? Can you be better than the likes of [Frank] Gashumba?"
Gravity Omutujju said he'll keep to his style as long as it makes money.
"If you want developmental music," he said, "I no longer have that."
One of the guests on the show pointed out that Eno Beats, one of the producers who have recorded some of his viral songs, mastered the art of sellable music.
"Eno Beats understood the music Ugandans love," said Omutujju.
Tuff B, the host of the show, observed: "There is a producer you work with and build chemistry."
Gravity Omutujju weighed in: "Eno Beats produces Afrobeats and that's music Ugandans love."
Eno Beats, real name Enoch Kisakye, produced for him Tusimbudde and Big Boys, some of his well-received songs. Tusimbudde is the second most viewed song on his YouTube channel at 1.4 million views, coming second to Okwepicha which was released this year.
He also produced Tatizo for Jose Chameleone, Katono by Bebe Cool, Stani Tonkema and Wankona by Sheebah Karungi,
Gravity has, however, worked with different producers to release controversial songs. Okwepicha, released six months ago, was produced by Bless Touch. Diggy Baur produced Kappa Yo and Enyama. Centre, a collabo with Kapa Cat -- was produced by Kaysam Kumapeesa.
Kukie Pan produced Bidagala, a collaboration with Cindy Sanyu.
He also noted that one of the reasons Chameleone succeeded as a singer was using one likable beat to record 28 of his songs. He cited Nekolela Mali, Jamila, Shida za Dunia and Mambo Bado.
