Renowned music producer Magix Enga, celebrated for his pivotal role in shaping the music industry's chart-topping hits, has laid bare the harsh financial challenges currently dominating his life.
In an honest and heartfelt interview with the media, Enga disclosed that he had been compelled to make a difficult decision: sending his child and wife to live with his mother-in-law, due to his inability to provide for them.
Enga, a producer of immense talent, who has worked with the industry's biggest names, revealed that many of his friends and industry associates distanced themselves from him once they became aware of his financial difficulties.
He made startling allegations that some artists he collaborated with had never compensated him, and others exploited his lack of proper representation, with no formal contracts in place.
"I never signed a contract. That's why I'm still struggling, as these artists don't acknowledge my contributions to their work," he lamented.
"At present, I can't even provide for my family. It's an incredibly tough situation, and I've had to send them away. I don't want to see them struggle."
Enga also shared that Khaligraph Jones had reached out to offer assistance by recommending shows for him if opportunities arose. However, he disclosed that he was currently without a stable home and facing insurmountable hardships.
Magix Enga, often hailed as the most gifted beat producer in Africa and beyond, underscored that his financial struggles extended to some of the songs he had produced, some of which had become massive hits.
Notably, he mentioned songs like "Dundaing," "Watoto na Pombe" (Otile Brown ft. Enga), "Maja," "Mapenzi Hisia," and others that he had not reaped benefits from.
Enga further elaborated that he was jobless and took the opportunity to make a heartfelt appeal to prominent figures, including political leaders, for support in his quest for a stable livelihood.
In December 2022, a video of the celebrated music producer Magix Enga began circulating on social media, sparking concerns among his fans about his deteriorating health.
During that period, his phone number remained inactive for a significant duration, leaving many to ponder his well-being.
