I am a young Nigerian with a great vocal chord and a superb style of singing which is quite new. It's simply Unique! I do mostly gospel/inspirational songs, using a blend of R and B flavour with the yoruba traditional chant(oriki) . I think it is best heard than explained. But the feeling is just like listening to Craig David's song In the Yoruba traditional chant form with  a chorus that has a Rock feeling. I would still maintain that it is better heard than explained!

But the issue is that I am really in need of a sponsorer or someone who can help finance the project! I already have a demo  and I would be willing and ready to come along with it whenever I am called upon. Just wondering if anyone could advise me on what to do or if i could get a helping hand.

Sounds nice. Getting a sponsor that is standing right in front of you is difficult, not to mention on a board like this. Since you have a demo CD, let people hear your music, people you think can or cannot help you. Sorry i dont have references but the more people know the more your chances of finding a sponsor.

Sounds very nice . Well it can be very difficult for an aspiring artist to get a sponsor.
But in this age of the internet there are also a couple of things you can do for yourself to get noticed since you already have a demo.
Can you post samples of your demo on this site for people to hear. Since there are a lot of nigerians visiting this site. This is a very good oppoutunity for u to get noticed and probably get a sponsor. if you are looking for a site that can host your songs go to http://www.audiostreet.net/. Register and upload all your songs. Then start an aggressive self marketing of yourself online. If you are very good and people like your songs you will get a sponsor in no time.i hope this helps . if you require any help let me know

where in lagos are youy based please,  huh ? Well is kind of late now maybe i saw this post late because my Fellowship called YDI http://www.ydiyouthmission.org will be organising a concert and we will be having Dovemedia, Hossanah Hour, alotta them and some kind of people who are ready to see people sing and probably promote them and this very sunday is auditioning of artist, all the artist that will performing are using there demo thank God you got yours but is kind of late, more over we lunching a Magazine very soon  Called [b]Gospelgist [/b]i could tell u that i'm the publisher and we having a big show to back-up the event and also i really Thank God you sing gospel song.

But i would like to get your contact, so i could interview you and have your details on the magazine because this magazine ain't going to sell here in nigeria alone but other country that i know,  this show we intend have we really boost you up that i promise.

Right now, I have got to speedily get my songs on net, just two of them, at least. I am very sure the sponsorers would come, coz is a brand of a new inspiration in Gospel dispensation. You guys are a huge help and inspiration. I can't wait to upload my songs right now. Pls, bear with me, I am on getting them across ok. you are going to listen to it, and you find them favorite! And if there's any useful information you can let me know, brothers. Thanks so dearly. Victor

I can put some of my music up, but I need to know if there is a section here that people can listen to music. If there isnt, i think there should be one.

Goodluck guy!

Holla people, i'm into the music thingy too but the same ol' wahala, no sponsorship, I have my demo too , i'm into the rap thing but not hard core though. I'm more of a slick rap artist. I can do the r'n'b thiong too though. I have a party track as my demo titled "Friday Night", any one looking for a collabo, holla. stevedslick@yahoo.com

I need the names of Web site where I can upload my Demo without any charge. Cos I was told that to upload songs somebody needs to pay! Send ones that I am not going to pay.

thanks and God bless you as you call me for the business
