GILAD CELEBRATES HIS 45TH BIRTHDAY WITH FELLOW ARTISTS

Israeli-Kenyan artist, Gilad celebrated his 45th birthday by sharing tips and insights he has acquired along the way with fellow artists. Having experienced the same frustrations 20 years ago.

Teaming up with Alchemy Creatives Session as part of their weekly free mentorship program, the session saw Gilad, who is known for content-oriented and soulful music, talk to fellow artists about believing and investing in themselves in order to make it in the music and entertainment industry.

Currently enjoying heavy rotation and media coverage from his Nakuahidi duet with Dela, Gilad has experienced firsthand and knows the hardships faced by artists and those aspiring to make a career out of music.

Gilad has had his fare share of frustration with music.  Earlier on, he had to quit music all together at the age of 25 in order to fend for his family since music was not generating any income.  His first encounter with music was as part of the White Donkey band in Jerusalem, which later broke up after failing to claim any mainstream commercial success. Through persistence and perseverance, he is now seeing his dreams come to fruition 20 years later.

The objective of the sessions was to empower, support and educate artists on the DO’S and DON’TS of the music industry with an aim of making them earn from their craft.

Gilad’s session dubbed Believing in Yourself focused not only on the life philosophies guiding this approach, but on the practical side of doing what it takes to give themselves a fighting chance.

Now in its third week running, the Alchemy Creative Session has seen several artists, deejays and producers get tips from established musicians and industry stakeholders.
