Music Business › Re: The Clueless Music Business "Ceos" by 600CC: 9:53am On Mar 04, 2016 |
winexviv: These days, everyone and their aunties, uncles, brothers, sisters, stepbrothers and girlfriends are Chief Executive Officers… check Facebook and twitter!
Yea, I know that’s a weird way to start an article but if you spend two whole days looking at a blank page, anything would do.
Generally, the CEO is the person who has the power to put plans, actions and laws into effect in an organization. The CEO's job involves delegation, decision making based on financial analysis and projections, research, managing financial, material and human resources. The CEO is accountable to a board of directors or investors and in some cases both. There are many other things and more definitions online… google it!
The more time I spend time with certain business owners in the music industry as well as businesses in other industries, the more I realize how much more I need to learn. I am continually humbled by their knowledge, leadership styles and qualities and how they interact with other people.
In the last couple of years, I have sat in several meetings with a lot of CEOs of the numerous businesses both in the music industry and in other sectors like advertising and petroleum.
I was privileged to sit in a board meeting of a petroleum company once and in the meeting was the Finance Director, The Administrative Head, the engineer in-charge of new sites etc and I listened as they bombarded the CEO with information. Information about the state of the company, income, staff appraisals, proposals from vendors, projections, projects as well as needs. All the information he needed to make decisions were provided and adequately broken down. What was fascinating was the fact that he had a discussed the things his people mentioned in the meeting with me, an hour before the meeting. He had a very good idea of what he was expecting from every department and every single member of his management team.
I’m sure you would be wondering… if he knows so much about everything, why doesn't he just do it by himself, right?
I am also sure some of you are wondering if it’s a good idea to compare both industries. I’m just trying to make a point. The music industry has very peculiar challenges and concerns compared to the Oil and Gas industry. I will make my point in a bit…
In one of my meetings with a CEO of a record label in Nigeria… before I start this story, if you think I am talking to you, I probably am!
The purpose of the article is not to force an opinion or ideology but to encourage interactions… share your views! Definitely by far the most informative and educative post "I've seen" pertaining to the music business on NL. Many people want to make it, clueless as to how it works. Post something that will help them at least think on the right perspective to move with, they don't read, or some jobless person from the romantic section comes here to make random clueless comments. Thanks OP. Brilliant |

tpiar: Enough of these meaningless threads plz, use the search function or google.
Yesterday it was i want to be friends with a music producer.
Plz pm any music producer you see here and stop disturbing the rest of us. Mousieur, you can like to go elsewhere and form busy please. 'random chance and money' you are obviously clueless to the music business. Stick to what you are great at, "Why Do You Stalk And Monitor People As If Your Life Depends On It?" Allow all these upcoming artists possibly gain the right perspective on how to go about achieving their dreams. You obviously have misplaced yours. Tata.. |

Some guys keep churning out hit after hit after hit after hit, some don't say much in their songs, others speak volumes and yet some become hits, some never get airplay. Some are signed to record labels and some come from nowhere to seeming overnight stardom. Some producers charge much some charge fair, some become hits, others do not. There are a lot of talents here, so I want to ask yall ; what makes a song become a hit? |

EgunMogaji: Well, there's some truth in what was said.
Bikes are depreciable assets while houses are appreciable assets.
How about a personal loan from your bank? Was just speaking "for instance" Loan from bank...ultimately item would cost a lot more. Sellers profit, banks profit...besides taking loans to fund luxury is not advisable last I checked. Looking for something with a spreadout payment plan is all... Thanks though... |

prinsbasy: Biking is an expensive venture. Not for pure government worker and definitely not for someone who will buy on credit.. Wait till you reach Directorate cadre... I was going to just say "thanks" then I realised that I wouldn't be entirely honest with you. Going by your chain of thought, should I also not buy a house on mortgage now? Or should I wait till I'm in the directorate cadre for that as well?! So, "I shall not take that under advisement" I don't hope to be a director and riding a bike, I hope I'll buy my son's bike when I am in the directorate cadre. |

I work with the government, (like really work for government the right way, so I don't do "kwangila" on the side). I love riding, but I have to tag with friends, and it's not convenient. Anyway, so I'm wondering if there are any businesses or individuals that facilitate...well, power bike purchases n spread out payment?? Nothing too fancy, 600cc, 2004-2008 model, Yamaha R6, or Honda CBR, or probably Suzuki Gixxer will do. Any suggestions  |
