Welcome readers old and new to the Dulce Camer blog. Thanks for passing by. On today's post we are continuing our feature on new talents we discovered on the Mboa Urban Music Mixtape Vol 1 launched a few weeks ago on the Mboa Urban Music site and put together by a young lady by the name of Esther Naah and her team. If you missed our post go here. Esther is a young entrepreneur who is
passionate about music and whose speciality is marketing and communications so
we are definitely expecting more contribution from her!
The Mboa Urban Music online portal has as
its objective to be the platform that permits Cameroonians and those lovers of
Cameroonian music around the world to discover, listen, share, download and
talk about the rising urban music scene.
The mixtape was well received and it sure did
create a massive buzz online revealing the thirst and hunger towards great
quality Cameroonian urban music from the public. If you missed our first talent, go here.
Today the spotlight is on Veeby, a massive young talent based in Canada. This independendent lady has some sassy and sexy lyrics heard in the track "I Dont Need Your Money" and is indeed an asset to the growing Cameroon music industry. Below is our catchup with the beautiful diva in the making ;-)

now. Not an interest...I am made for this, can't fight it lol!

Veeby: Chhhhhh....secret.
DC: Ohhh we love secrets lol!! What is your opinion about
the way artists in Cameroon are promoted?
Veeby: Sincerely I think
Cameroonian artists deserve better promotion. I feel like we are like brut
diamonds, diamonds which will remain in the dark because we lack solid
industry workers.
DC: You are right. And finally, what makes or
what breaks an artist in your opinion?
Veeby: Nothing breaks an artist
...it is just a matter of perception. Nowadays, the public is the key, but an
artist remains an artist.
