The Music Industry In Nigeria

As an artist you have to understand what music is and What the Music Business is.

The Nigerian music Industry has Developed so much that people earn a Living from Music. If You have the Mindset that Music Is Buisness Then You will think like a Business man.

In Business we invest to get returns. No record label will want to sign an Artiste that has not Developed himself both musicially and On the biases of Promoting his Music.
As an Artiste You need to be wise. To Get a Good Record deal you must has Developed a brand for your self.

Like Artistes who has been signed in recent years. Wale Turner, Lil Kesh, Reekado Banks, ola dips, mzkiss, Ycee, adekunle gold, POE, Johnny drille,nonso Amadi, odunsi, and The List Goes on.

Life is about grabbing Oppurtunities. Do you know that we have Hundreds of Record Labels owned by Rich Individuals like Lawyers, lounge owners, even Wire boys but Don't Have the Right Talented artistes signed to their Label, we have Artiste like Charass, xbusta, pile Man Signed To big Labels who has Not Made any Impact in the Music Industry.

All Am Trying to Say is you need To Elevate your Self before Someone comes along. You need to Push your Brand Before some One Comes along. Okay how was Justin Beiber found on YouTube by Usher?? He was Advertising himself Through his YouTube video.

No Label Will come and say Wow.. Seems Like you have Good Talent Let's Make You Great. Banky Wellington didn't Sign Wizkid Then because he thought he was Great, Baba nla Was Performing At Shows And Pushing his Brand and give Banky W reasons to sign him.

So My Final Advise to You As Artise Is To Push Your Music Brand By Promoting yourself, Get a Personal PR, Join an Artise Community, Get Your self Booked For Shows even If you Are To pay cause You don't Know Who is attending, Make hit Songs, and Have Faith.
