Ugandan dancehall singer Buka Chimey, real name David Musolo, is set to hold his debut concert on 9th November 2024 at Motiv, Old Port Bell Road, Kampala.
The concert dubbed “Mindful Creativity with Buka Chimey” aims at highlighting the importance of mental health awareness in creative arts.
Buka Chimey is already preparing to deliver unforgettable live performances for attendees.
Mental health struggles have ravaged the music industry in recent years and having been a victim himself, Buka Chimey is leading the charge in raising awareness about it.
In a field often marked by intense pressure and public scrutiny, Buka is determined to shine a light on challenges like burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome—issues many creatives face but rarely discuss openly.
For Buka Chimey, this concert is more than just a performance—it’s a continuation of his advocacy for mental wellness in the creative community.
He recognizes the emotional demands of artistic work, particularly in a public-facing industry, and hopes to empower his fellow creatives to prioritize their mental health.
“This concert is not just about the music; it’s a platform for change,” Buka Chimey reveals.
The “Tuli Wawelu” singer is using his influence to encourage conversations around mental health, ensuring these challenges are no longer swept under the rug.
Via social media, Buka announced the concert whilst emphasising the importance of addressing these issues:
The creative arts industry is driven by passion, innovation, and expression, yet many professionals face significant mental health challenges, including burnout, anxiety, and depression.
The Mindful Creativity concert will feature Buka Chimey performing alongside a live DJ and band, promising an energetic and soulful experience.
In addition to the performances, attendees can look forward to live podcast sessions and workshops covering stress management, mindfulness, and practical strategies for maintaining mental well-being as a creative.
The event will also feature immersive discussions, networking opportunities, and a global livestream, allowing fans and creatives from all over the world to participate in the conversation.
Buka hopes that through this initiative, industry leaders will adopt more supportive mental health practices, such as flexible schedules and mental health days.
