If you are an upcoming artiste with a big dream, not just having big dreams but you are real good with your craft and wants to step up your game in the Nigerian Music Industry and occupy same stage as Wizkid, Davido, Tekno, 2face, Olamide, Phyno, Runtown, Falz, P-Square, Sheyi Shay etc

These are the great things you must put into consideration.

Great & Unique Content;

You must be an artiste that has a very good head for music and wonderful writing skills, know what the music crowd want at every point in time. I personally love well crafted songs with meaningful lyrics and good rhythm.

If you feel you cant write good music, hire a song writer.

Another thing that makes your music come out great and unique is the quality of beat, mixing and mastering. Look for good producers and professional sound engineers to produce, mix and master your song.

Feature Big & Reigning Artistes;

This is one of the most expensive and very effective aspect of it but i bet you, it is really worth it, even big artistes do this in other to remain relevant for a very long time. Have you wondered why every artiste at the moment wants to feature Runtown? its just because he is trending.

Moreover, when you feature a big star, he will also share the song with his big fan base and his fans will automatically becomes yours if you are good and they like your content.

Breath Taking & Attractive Artwork;

Your Music is ready and you are set to send it to music blogs and distributional platform, the next thing that should be on your mind is getting a very matured and attractive artwork because it does great wonders to your publicity.

Amazing artworks can actually be your selling point. It portrays you as a serious minded artiste.

PAY a good graphic designer to get you something good. Also make sure that you go for photoshoots regularly and update your photos online. You don’t want a blogger to be searching up and down for a quality picture to represent your story!

Advert & Good Distribution Network;

Good music deserves good promo, show me a popular artiste and i will show you an artiste that promoted him self through the right channel.

No matter how good you are and how good your song is, if you dont promote your brand, you will remain an upcoming artiste forever. Some music promotes itself when it is very good but then, you need to push it out first before it gains ground. Upcoming artistes sometimes feel reluctant to go around promoting their works, maybe due to lack of money or support or even a dying passion. This jinx needs to be broken. If your music must be heard you should not stop promoting it via the Blogs, Radio & TV Stations.

Invest In Music Promotion

Building a career in music require a very huge amount of money to do that, its not a rocket science thing, it takes gradual but consistent process. My professional advice is that if you want to take up a career in music, you should have a backup source of income that will generate money for you so you can invest in your music career. If you are waiting for free promo, it cant take you anywhere.
