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! The Easy Steps tobecome a
Successful Music 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.Quality is probably the most important

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
the headlines! You got to be kidding me if
you need
suggestions on how to achieve this. Ok, I’ll
give you a
few. Have several baby mamas, have several tattoos
or date two popular celebrities, start a
twitter fight by
dissing another celeb or release a terrible
song,
breakup with your music label or have a groupie take
a photo of you in bed while you pretend to
be asleep. Please follow these suggestions at your
own risk
because I do not endorse bad behavior.


5. Get a slogan


You think Tonto Dike was dumb when she
thought of
#Poko?


We have seen artistes carve a niche for
themselves
with slangs that they use. Iyanya gave us
“Your
waist”, Durella would “Zanga” this, Dbanj is
the custodian of “Kokolet, Labata, Lebete, Eja
nla and so on” while
Tuface never fails to remind us that “Nothin
dey
happen”.
You can just think of something unique and make it yours!We have seen artistes carve a niche for

6. Make Yourself Official

No matter how upcoming and unknown
you are, to
really stand out you have to look official.
Make sure to
get that official look of the pros. If you look
like a pro your listeners will assume that you are a pro. It’s
as simple as
that. Here are some tips on how to get a
more
professional look: Contact a good graphic
designer and get a neat, authentic and customized logo.
Make sure to
get an official website Were you promote your music with we can do that for you http://nairalord.com/pmusic If you post YouTube videos,
make sure to
use the same or a similar format for titles and
descriptions every time.
And also create official profiles on social
networks for your music, i mean an official
facebook fan page and twitter handle this
will create a corporate identity and give you an official look. And
lastly Get a good
promotional body to potray your talent for
you we can do that for you http://nairalord.com/pmusic


7. Feature a Well-Known Artiste

Getting on a track with a well-known artist
makes you
stand out like crazy. Most self-proclaimed
upcoming
artists will never do that: They are simply
too afraid, don’t believe that it’s impossible and last but not
least they
don’t know how it’s done. This is a huge
opportunity for
you. Nothing will boost your credibility
more than a collaboration with a medium well-known
artist. There’s
no doubt that this is one of the best ways to
stand out.
Featuring a well- known artiste is easy, we
can hook you up with an artiste of your choice, just let us know when you ready



8. The best things are not for FREE!


Dont be reluctant when it comes to
spending, in the present Nigerian music
industry if you can’t pay the right people I’m
sorry to say your music will go nowhere,
OAPs, Social Media
publicists, Radio/Satellite channels, Magazines, Top DJs, Top bloggers, music
promotion companies, dont joke with the
services of those people, consult them to
work for you even if it requires paying them
huge amounts for the publicity you need
just for you to get to the top. Use our social media/online promo plan to
create all the awareness and publicity you
might ever need on the internet, it is tested
and trusted!
We will work for you beyond your
imaginations! We can also submit your songs to top radio
