Juliani, who at one time was one of the most sought after musicians in the country has recently been doing lesser shows which equate to low income, something that forced him to come up with a creative way to lure clients and salvage the situation.
Taking to Instagram, the Hela hit maker put himself up for auction and requested fans to bid and state the amounts of money they were willing to pay him for shows.
Dubbed Bid and Gig Promotion, Juliani claimed he was ready to give out a 30 minutes Deejay set performance to the highest bidder.
His post sparked mixed reactions online with countless people wondering why a popular musician could auction his services.

Juliani through his twitter handle has re-affirmed his bid to offer services in order to be able to put food on the table
Many claimed it was a dry season for him hence he had to do what he had to do to put bread on the table.
Others, however, supported his move and urged more artists to embrace it.
It should be noted Juliani is not the only musician who has been struggling to book shows in the recent past. Countless local musicians, including the big wigs, have been having it tough as far as being booked for shows and concerts is concerned.
But Juliani has decided to speak it out and save the situation. Most Kenyan Artist struggle due to lack of enough and constant shows happening in different places.
Some are even booked but the organizers are always willing to give less which can’t sustain most artist. Most of them end up depending on royalties or venture into other businesses then being an artist becomes the other part time activity.
Do you think other Kenyan artists should embrace Juliani’s move rather than keeping silence?
