The Nigerian music industry has developed so much that people earn a living from music, to the point that artistes like Wizkid can afford to buy a Porche car which goes for over 50million 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. That is why I came up to with this article to help all up and coming artistes with free tips on how to get signed on to a record label in Nigeria on your own
1. Develop your brand.
Be known for my what you do. Stick to a style of music. Many up and coming stars keep running in circles, doing rap, R&B , dance hall etc just to show their versatility. Oh yes, it might help in gaining fans, but NO it counts less in getting a label. All record labels wanna see you gain fans in the brand you findself in. So if you sing, develop it, if you rap, build on that.
2. Build a niche of fans
Oh yes, no record label will wanna sign a fanless artistes. You need to have fans in the range of 5-10 thousand before thinking about a record deal. Talking about fans, I mean individuals who are always ready to download your singles, follow up your tours and pay for your events. Don’t misunderstand fans to family and friends. They are different. A fan should be one who has no direct contact to you
