Kin Bella reveals struggles with sexual advances in music industry

Upcoming singer Kin Bella has spoken out about the challenges female artistes face in the music industry, particularly the constant sexual advances from industry stakeholders.

Bella revealed that some producers, deejays, and even fellow artistes tend to see her more for her looks than her talent. She described the pressure as overwhelming, saying it often puts female artistes in uncomfortable positions.

It’s too much. You can even fall out with someone just because you’ve refused to sleep with them. They’ll go around spreading things about you, but deep down, you know the truth. I’m misjudged a lot.

She narrated a personal experience with a well-known producer who persistently texted her to work on a project. Excited about the opportunity, she agreed, only to be met with inappropriate demands.

I can’t mention his name, but I felt humiliated as a girl and as a person. I even tried to offer money for the studio session, but he wasn’t interested in the money. It was something else.

Bella added that while she often tries to create friendships with fellow artistes before working with them to avoid such situations, it is harder to control when dealing with producers and deejays.
