One of the country’s urban musicians Jay Jay Cee says the local music industry is highly competitive and it is tough for one to overcome the challenges in the industry.

The 19 year-old musician and producer said the high costs of producing music and promoting it and the increasing number of people joining the music industry are some of the challenges that are making it difficult for a musician to meet the ends of their dream in the industry.
