Ugandan singer Naava Grey has announced plans to stage another concert, saying public demand has encouraged her to return to the stage following her previous show in February last year.
The singer revealed that she is preparing for another concert while maintaining her independent approach to making and releasing music. She explained that, as a songwriter, she prefers to work at her own pace rather than feel pressured to constantly promote her releases.
Naava said she already has new music available on YouTube, even though she does not always announce it publicly.
“I’m doing another one due to public demand and I have new music on YouTube, although I don’t announce. I don’t force my music,” she said.
Her comments point to an approach that prioritises creating music on her own terms rather than following the constant promotional cycle often associated with the industry.
The singer also addressed questions about why she is rarely seen performing at concerts organised by other Ugandan musicians.
Naava clarified that she has never deliberately turned down an invitation to perform at such events. Instead, she said she rarely receives invitations, adding that artists often choose performers whose musical styles fit the identity of their shows.
“If someone doesn’t call me, I don’t go, but I’m okay with Baraka’s show. I think those artists pick artists that fall in their genre, and my music is different,” she explained.
Her remarks suggest that differences in musical styles can influence the lineups artists assemble for their concerts. She did not indicate that she had a problem with fellow musicians or their events.
Naava’s upcoming concert will give fans another opportunity to experience her music live, although important details about the event have not yet been disclosed.
The singer has not announced the concert date, venue or ticket prices. Further information about the event is expected to clarify when and where fans can attend.
For now, Naava says the decision to stage another show has been driven by public demand, while her comments about music promotion and concert invitations offer insight into how she navigates Uganda’s entertainment industry.
