Biography
I am a dedicated and passionate researcher with a keen interest in digitalisation, platform capitalism, disruptive innovation, and the intricate dynamics of the music industry. As a reader and researcher, my enthusiasm lies in exploring the intersection of technology, economics, and music. With a solid foundation in music and a Master's degree that focused on the impact of digitalisation on the social economic status of gospel artists in Kenya, I bring a unique perspective to the ongoing discourse in the field of music industries. I am a seasoned live sound engineer, bringing practical experience to my research interests. My professional journey has granted me valuable insights into the complexities of digital music platforms and their profound influence on the music industry. This practical understanding, coupled with my academic rigor, equips me to delve deeply into the theoretical and practical aspects of platform capitalism within the music industry.
