    Episode 28: Learning curve - January 2026 Events

    January set the tone for the year and this episode is a reflection on both the music released and the events attended throughout the month. The episode opens with a look at some of the music that dropped in January 2026 before moving into reviews of the live experiences that shaped the month. The events covered include Shad Mziki at BND Live Sessions on 8th January, Industry Talks: Event Productions, Artist Bookings & Fun Experience on 15th January, Maali at BNDLive Sessions on the same day, Ochiko and N’Jiru at Kenyan Pick on 21st January and Kethan Live Experience III on 31st January 2026. Titled Learning Curve, this episode leans into the process of openly sharing opinions, reviewing events and growing through feedback. It’s an honest reflection on showing up, observing, learning and refining perspective while engaging with music and creative spaces in real time. Less about having final answers, more about staying open, curious and willing to learn as the year unfolds.
