You are an Upcoming artiste/Dj and you've released lots of singles/mixtapes but you are still yet to make any wave in the music scene? sad

You might be doing something wrong!

Read this article here and evaluate yourself



The internet creates tons of new opportunities for
upcoming artists. Becoming famous was never easier
and more feasible than these days. Even well-known
label bosses claim that there’s no need for a record label
to make it in this game. But there’s also a downside to
this: Every kid with internet can record songs and publish
them online. The internet is literally being flooded with
new music every day. And the consumers and fans out
there are getting overwhelmed big time. It’s self-evident
that standing out becomes more and more important.It is
hard to ignore the fact that music today has
moved from pretty simple lyrics to words that do not
exist in the oxford dictionary talk more of
Google.com. How do you explain the meaning of
iyanaya’s “na na na na na na….your waist” or
Flavour’s “Porokoto pokoro pakoroba”?
With the type of lyrics that are being put out today by
Nigerian artists, it would be pretty hard for an artist
who sang “If I could runaway, I’d run with you
faraway” to compete with someone who spills
“Kukere I get money o” on the dance floor.
Our years of experience in the Nigerian music industry
as music promoter, artiste managers, media publicist,
Media consultants and shows organizers has given us an
insight as to what sells
in Nigeria. Trust me when I say I have cracked that
code as to how you can become a successful
Nigerian artiste just by releasing one single! Here are
the 8 proven steps you must follow religiously to
become a successful artiste in Nigeria!

1) Quality Is important

Quality is probably the most important aspect of your
music. Most upcoming artists have no idea of quality:
Their rhymes are crappy, their mixing and mastering
sucks and their overall music just doesn’t sound
professional. The easiest way to stand out and make a
serious impression is to step up and handle your audio
quality. Get yourself a studio with a decent condenser
microphone, a better sound card and find someone who
will mix and master your songs at least semi-
professionally. If you sound professional, people will
think you are professional. This single step will put you
ahead of most other upcoming artists in this game.

2. Keep in shape

This is already self-explanatory. You can’t be looking
like Rick Ross and expecting your female fans to
appreciate you. In order to be able to throw off your
shirt at any given time, you will need to have the right
6packs (Please no hungry packs) but the right packs
like Iyanya, Dipp and D’banj. Now if you a female
artiste, then you need to shed off those unwanted fats
around your stomach and reserve it for your hips and
bust because this is what Nigerian men love and you
need it for your photo and video shoots.

3. Show some skin

Now Nigerians love daring performances (You can
trace this back to Fela’s days). In order to have an
engaging concert, you must be willing to show some
chest on stage like D’banj and throw your shirt into
the crowd like Iyanya.
A Disclaimer: Please do not attempt this if you do not
have a six packs and your body is only suitable for a
Michelin advertisement. (Just kidding )
For the ladies, a little baring of the laps hurts no one.
You can contact Tiwa Savage and Emmy Nyra for a
few tips on how to bare it all and still look classy.

4. Hit the headlines (Controversy)

Denrele once said “Good publicity is good publicity.
Bad publicity is good publicity. No publicity is bad
publicity”.
Being in the news is key! Do whatever it takes to hit
