Popular TikToker, Actor and musician, Peter Komba, has emphasized the importance of international exposure for Sierra Leonean entertainers to gain local recognition.
Speaking on the “Wake Up Salone” program, Komba revealed that his recent movie and the increased interest it has generated in Sierra Leone is largely due to its international release.
“It is important for us to go outside Sierra Leone to do something and then come back to make a big way in Sierra Leone. I think it helps. For example, since they posted the video on YouTube, Sierra Leone has generated a lot of interest. Now, if I want to be in a Sierra Leonean movie, it will attract the attention from Nigeria to look at it and say yes, this is the guy from this Nigerian movie. It helps a lot.” he stated.
He also confirmed that the Skit he did with Nigerian Comedian Brother Shaggy also helped pave the way for him to be known beyond Sierra Leone.
Komba’s new movie is currently streaming exclusively on Uchenna Mbunabo TV on YouTube. The young star, known for his energetic TikTok videos and dance moves, was signed by Cribs International before releasing his debut single “Scatter.”
