Pia Pounds received criticism over the weekend from music critic Eddie Sendie, who labeled her a bad performer and suggested that she put more money into vocal lessons and practice sessions rather than concentrating on her looks.
“Pia Pounds, you are a terrible performer. You invest a lot of money in your appearance, but my sincere advice is to undergo voice training and rehearse more,” he said in a YouTube interview, criticizing her performance at Sheebah’s concert.
In response, Pia Pounds said on X (formerly Twitter) that Sendie should realize there might be more to her subpar performance than just a lack of skill.
Pia Pounds said that although Sendie’s remarks had hurt her, she would use them as a springboard to improve as an artist.
“Mzee Sendie, your comment about ‘Nyimba bubi’ hurt me a lot, but I’ll take it as constructive criticism and work on growing as an artist. It’s important to note that many factors can cause an artist to sound bad on stage besides a lack of talent,” she wrote on X.
