7 Reasons Why Most Upcoming Artistes Will Never Blow by Revolva(m): 9:48am On Jul 15, 2015
Most upcoming artistes fail to blow not by destiny or ill luck, but as a result of lack of priorities, styles and many more which we shall discuss.

1. They Don’t Advertise Themselves

If you think miracle is all you need to blow, then you must be seriously sleeping on a moving bicycle. To blow in Nigeria, you have to advertise yourself aggressively and give it whatever it takes. As a matter of fact, it’s not a bad idea advertising that track of yours on a good music blog where we have music freaks who are always at alert to download front page musics, and may not even hesitate to share it with their friends if it’s really worth it. You can ask Qdot and Olamide, they will confirm to you that good music will surely help your Career.

2. They Patronize Cheap Producers

You need not sing like Michael Jackson before you blow. However, the impact of good production cannot be overemphasized anytime any day. Most upcoming artistes may not blow because they always patronize backyard producers who will produce 5 tracks for them at the rate of N10, 000. Ooooh common that ridiculously cheap !!.

We know you are not rich yet! But at least, spending as little as N20, 000 to produce a single track is much more better than seeking producers who produce 5 tracks for N10, 000

3. Lack of Creativity

What makes one stand out amongst his peers is creativity and uniqueness. However, many upcoming artistes fail to get to the peak of their dreams not because witches and wizards are following them, but because they are not creative in any way.

4. Pride

Pride is also a determinant of how far one will go in his music career. However, it is very evident that it’s the habit of most upcoming artistes to always give people a false sense of their financial status through their dressings, spending and what not. They are sometimes proud that they raise shoulders to people who are meant to help or make their dreams come true in a little way they can. This is one of the reasons why many of them have failed to blow

5. Poor Dress Sense

They say your appearance is the first letter of recommendation. The mode of dressing of many upcoming artistes is sometimes childish and annoying. You see many of them dressing like masquerades; looking unkempt, poor colour combination, unattractive hairstyle, and many more which I cannot mention. The truth of the matter is that, when your appearance cannot catch people”s fancy, how do you convince them to listen to your track?

6. Immature Lyrics

Good lyrics and punch lines is all you need to at least gain some recognition. When you listen to the songs of many upcoming artistes, you will keep wondering if the songs was composed within the ambit of 5mins. That is, they sing a chorus repeatedly for about three minutes after which a verse will follow suite and that’s the end of the song. Haba !!! It may be working for Vizkid but that doesn’t mean you should try that

7. Imitating The Style Of Others

To succeed in life, you have to do something others are not doing, or what they have never done. As a matter of fact, we know that 2face already has his own style and that’s his brand, so why copy his style as a leverage to also get to limelight ?, when you know that you may be seen as a copy cat . Try to build up your own style

Holla...very true,many upcoming artists i work with

one upcoming artist that was talking to me on whatsapp

told me i charge too much just to write a song for him,he claims he can write better songs (though he hasnt ever heard my song before,clear sign of overprone pride)

this pride issue is annoying,i gave 2 free songs that night to people who claimed they dont have funds and will contact me when they do ,and if he had being honest and told me he didnt have 5k,i will have considered given him a free song,well i urge all you artists to check your pride because you dont really know who you are forming to..thats fact..i am a big deal,he just didnt know that..meanwhile read my signature abeg..accnt getting dry.

Here is a place where you can upload your songs for people to download: www.mp3submit.com

Note that getting your songs on the internet is one of the top ways to get you fame as an upcoming artist because getting your song on the Internet will pave a way for a lot of people to download your song.

I think that your epressions are right. Also there are so many musicians fell down because of their drugs and alchohol addict. I have never been undrestand this type of people. I'm so proud of my favourite band Cafe Tacuba. They are so hardworking. by the way, if you like the to , you can visit treir concerts at Cafe Tacuba Tour
