Musician Abiti Najere has made a heartfelt appeal to event organisers, asking them to start considering her for live performances.
In a message posted on her entertainment page, the singer expressed deep frustration over being repeatedly sidelined despite her efforts and dedication to her craft.
According to Najere, many organisers overlook her when selecting artists for shows, something she says has been happening since she began her music career.
“Invite me to your shows! Many artists keep leaving me out. Since I started singing, I have never been invited to perform at a show,” she lamented.
She added that the constant exclusion has left her emotionally drained and questioning her place in the industry.
“I work very hard and I’m always trying my best to entertain Malawians with my music. But it is painful and heartbreaking that most artists never include me. Sometimes I even think of giving up music,” she wrote.
Industry observers say Najere’s plea highlights a broader challenge faced by many emerging artists in Malawi, who struggle to break into major platforms dominated by established names.
Some commentators argue that organisers should embrace diversity and offer opportunities to rising talents to strengthen the industry as a whole.
Fans have since rallied behind Najere, encouraging her not to give up and urging event organisers to recognise her potential and dedication.
