The Nigerian music industry has developed so
much that people earn a living from music, to
the point that artistes like Wizkid, Davido,
Kcee, Harrysong and many others alike can
afford to buy cars of their choice which goes
for several millions without having to call on
mummy and daddy. But the major challenge
up and coming artistes are having is getting
signed on to a record label.

Have fans of these artistes sit back to analyze where these record labels get their money from?

Why is it that they keep having issues with artistes after a given period of time?

Could it be that they are being enslaved by the contract or is the demand too high from the record label?

All these and many more questions will be left unanswered because the issues will continue to conflict each either as the truth seems close by.

Artistes have been known to quit their record
labels/management companies despite the
money invested in them. They could either
manage to release one album or three track
songs that might likely not sell and later, they
leave the label without completion of their
contract agreement.

In late 2013, artiste manager, Sijuade
Adedokun, who is the President of the
Association of Music Artiste Managers of
Nigeria, (AMAMN), once said that “Nigerian
artistes are very loyal when their career is
about to kick off but immediately they have
that slight fame, they start acting up."

Here are lists of some entertainment outfit in
Lagos that have produced some up and
coming artistes and ready-made once in the
industry but which can be said to be a
credible record label?

K2o Entertainment
Mavin’s Records
Aristocrats Records

EME Music Group
