The multi-racial students with talents coming from abroad are one of the human resources that benefits the hosting nation in one way or the other.

These students come with extraordinary and unique natural gifts that are unusual.

Meanwhile, the South Sudan student, Samson Martin, is one of the talented upcoming musicians in Rwanda now who is endowed with musical talents.

He spoke with The Campus’s JohnMark Tumwebaze about his musical career and talent promotion.

When did you discover that you have musical talents?

Basically, I discovered that I have a talent at a young age in 2014, and due to the love of my country's music and being inspired by Uganda's biggest Promoter Balaam Barugahare, I developed a strong love and interest in music promotion I started by promoting my friends' music at school.

Is your achievement visible?

My achievement so far is recognized all over my country on major media outlets but most importantly my biggest achievement now is the promotion of big tracks especially the number one Anthem Action and Energy in South Sudan that is co-promoted by John Frog, the top South Sudan musician.

I pushed it all over the streets of Uganda's capital Kampala and I got credited for that by my country's people.

How will you entrench your talents in Rwanda?

My first aim is to get to know and have contact with Rwandan Musicians, media outlets, and the Rwandan entertainment sector generally so that we can have a peaceful music co-existence that we can host shows in Rwanda or South Sudan perhaps the whole East African countries.

Through this platform, I expect to synergize both Rwandan music and that of South Sudan, where both musicians of the two countries will perform and collaborate with Rwandan artists and take Rwandan musicians to South Sudan for big concerts and collaborate.

Not only in South Sudan but I plan to do this in the whole of East Africa hence promoting the Rwandan Music Industry at ago too.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

My vision for the next 5 years is to take South Sudan music worldwide through hard work and support and dedication.

Not only in South Sudan's music to the world but I will try to push East African Music too to the world scene.

Do you manage to get any awards?

So far I don't have any awards at moment but I can confidently assure everyone that a lot of awards are coming on my way.

People should just trust the process 

What is your message to the Rwandan musician?

My personal message to the Rwandan musicians is that they should set their goals, focus, and work hard.

What I can say is that patience pays and in music, it works too.

In addition, I can advise them to have mentors and teachers in musical aspects.

They should also organize jam sessions with their fellow young artists to boost their confidence.
