Ugandan rising star Joshua Baraka is just 43,000 monthly listeners away from hitting a major milestone 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
If he achieves it, Baraka will become the first Ugandan artist to reach this level on the global music platform.
Music analysts say this achievement is not by chance.
It reflects Baraka’s strategic planning, global collaborations, strong digital presence, and consistency in releasing quality music that resonates with diverse audiences.
“It’s not by magic, it takes building connections, strategic planning, being available in the right places and doing the right things at the right time” one industry insider commented.
Baraka’s rise symbolizes a new wave of Ugandan music crossing borders and shows what young creatives can achieve with the right mix of talent, networking, and timing.
