Sarz laments impact of poor infrastructure on creatives

Ace producer and music executive Sarz has spoken about the negative effects of poor infrastructure, particularly inconsistent electricity supply, on Nigeria’s creative industry.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, the 36-year-old producer said unreliable power supply often disrupts creative flow and leads to wasted potential.

“I was born and raised in this country and I have never experienced electricity for 24 hours. There are times when I wake up feeling inspired and I want to create music but there is no light. Sometimes, even when you want to buy fuel, they will tell you there is a strike or scarcity. And then you end up doing nothing and the potential just wastes,” he said.

Sarz noted that creativity requires mental readiness, which can be hindered by infrastructural challenges.

“As a creative person, you need to be mentally charged to perform at your best. So when the infrastructure is lacking at the moment you are mentally charged, it is a challenge,” he added.

The producer stressed that improved infrastructure is crucial for the entertainment industry to reach its full potential, arguing that the sector’s growth remains constrained by systemic shortcomings.
