Speaking to Briefly News, Afro Music Observatory data journalist Farai Mudzingwa explained why musicians shouldn't overlook social media.

He highlighted that social media can be a free marketing tool for musicians, and teasing new music allows them to reach new listeners. Mudzingwa also explained how social media enables musicians to access feedback from their fans in real time.

" It can be really amazing and low-cost word of mouth marketing for artists, and unlike most marketing channels, the artist can also then interact with their fans in real-time, strengthening that bond," Farai Mudzingwa said.
