A friend has been into music for like eternity. He'd always sing for us (friends). He's an IT guy, not that he's making millions but fairly comfortable. He was into a very serious relationship last year and composed a song that he meant to be played on his wedding day. Unfortunately things went sour and the relationship was ended. He finished the song about two weeks ago. We convinced him to put it online and the response has been small but exciting. Thing is, he got an email, then a call from one of the current top 10 artist in the Nigerian music industry offering to buy the song for 5 Million naira cash.

Point is, cos of the response he's been getting from the song, he's thinking of recording an album. We've been talking of taking the songs to radio stations (we understand it's not going to be free and we could pull it off to get a fair amount of airplay).

I don't want to sound arrogant but 5M while quite an amount isn't enough I think. This song in question is the type of song that's just different and unique in its own way. I think my friend's song can shape his music career just like "African Queen" shaped 2Baba's career.

Sell and make quick cash...since your friend has his job.


First to comment...*dedicated to all my guys in Anguwa Godo, Zaria*

Promotion of music is not a child's play, u need a good financial muscle to do so. If he is financially bouyant, let him try his fate. If not, let him sale it and use the money to project other projects of his

Sell it! *in OLX voice*

Sell it jawe...

He should 'SELL IT!'.

he should sell it, write a new one since he knows whatsop. D money is gonna help him to promote d new one inspiration is goin to bring..

Just sell it already, but don't sell it 100%. Ask for a royalty like certain percentage on all profits that is going to be generated from the song eventually. Get a lawyer first, 10-25% would be a fair cut.

You prolly don't have a name out there and it will take time for you get accepted in the market or breakeven.

On Point

Let him sell it and sign an agreement with the artiste, dat for every award d song in question brings to the artiste, he will be collecting 20-25% on it.

Big Bro Icebeatz listern to ma signature pls. it an Old Song though.thank u sir.

sell and compose another song.... If u have d talent u go blow

Sell it. you may have no publicity by doing it anyways.

Don't sell. But dnt cry when d song fails to make hit

My Guy Airforce1 will sell his for 500k not to talk of 5M.

I wil advice him to sell the song,, it's not easy to be a popular musician nowadays, unless if ur family is OK,or someone decide to help him out, I will advise him to sell it for now to raise funds into his pocket and try to compose another one, then he wil use the money to produce the new one if he is the type that doesn't spend lavishly

I don't have experience in this but I know Airforce can help

Good luck in whatever your friend decide to do

No

Seriously? Are you really asking? just sell it joor !

My advise for you is to sell it on one condition that he must feturing you in 2 hit tracks in his album and its not negotiable.

You may become the new GALADO in town, who knows.
