Liberia Music Industry: The Rise of Female Record Labels

C Liberia Clearly Records CEO Berenice Mulubah

On Average, artists and songwriters visualize males when they think of producers or of those in senior creative positions. There are less female artists winning awards, getting booked or securing major collaborations with their counterparts. With a slim chance of hope, few females within the Liberian Music Industry are fighting to change the status quo.

In 2018, Mz Menneh ran a gender equality campaign for few artists. Pillz initiated an all female cypher.

Berenice Mulubah, CEO of C Liberia Clearly Records, is the first female within the Liberian music industry to own a record label. In 2015, the retired blogger and radio host launched Zama Records, co-partnering with her ex Jon Bricks, who was also the first and only artist of the label. After the two spilt, Berenice Mulubah walked away from the label in good faith. The CEO who is one of the pioneers of the Liberian blogging industry, is back with a new record label, named after her blog, “C Liberia Clearly”. Presently, there are only two female record label founders and executives within the Liberian entertainment industry, Berenice Mulubah and Lydia Freeman. There are few female managers, but these two females are the only ones with an actual label.

Berenice Mulubah currently has three major artists signed to C Liberia Clearly Records, Milton Klechee, Skoolboy Wizzy and Vaa Thomson. According to the record label exec, she wishes to sign more female artists that will help even the scores.

Few days ago, Ms. Mulubah announced that she is leaving the blogging industry to focus solely on her record label and writing career. In her own words, “I have given all I can afford to give the blogging industry. It’s time to focus on my brand, my record label and my writing career. Hopefully, within the next two years, I can get a Veteran Business Loan to invest into the artists under my belt.”

Berenice Mulubah is known for her hard work and zero tolerance for lack of discipline. There is no doubt that she is going to do exceedingly great in her new endeavors.

Learning from my Wrong

I am incredibly hard on myself when it comes to being wrong and making big decisions in life. But, being wrong isn't as bad as we make it out to be. I have made many mistakes and I have discovered few lessons from my experiences. When I look back on my choices from a year ago, I always hope to find a few decisions that seem stupid now because that means I have grown. If you only live in the safety zone where you know you can’t mess up, then you’ll never unleash your true potential. There is no reason to be depressed or give up simply because you made a few wrong choices. Even more crucial, you must try your best every time because it is the effort and the practice that drives the learning process. They are essential, even if you fail. Realize that no single choice is destined to fail, but that occasional failure is the cost you have to pay if you want to be right.

We need men

am all about women empowerment. Matter of fact, it is safe to say, I am a feminist. But, when it comes to gender equality, is the scale balance, or starting to tip over? To have a successful community, a successful nation, we need both women and men to succeed equally. We need men to succeed; we need them to marry and raise strong children; we need men as much as women if we are to rebuild the family. Given the daily attacks on manhood in our media and our culture, the odds of creating strong, good men are ever shrinking. Unless we give the same attention to our boys and young men that we give to their female counterparts, the situation will only grow worse. Without a determined effort to raise our sons with the same sense of hope and aspiration given our daughters, to let them know that masculinity is as positive a value as femininity, to teach them honor, courage, and virtue, we will see even fewer intact families, an ongoing sense of hopelessness and despair a
