You have already taken that golden step. It doesn't matter how many times you fall but how many times did you stand up each time you fall. Stay positive. Don't look forwar to failure but look forward to that success ����

I decided to open a new account to post this, as I am posting this am holding tears back because am inside a bus from Lagos back to my base in Ogun state.

The last thing I want in my life is to be a public figure because am a strong introvert and I hardly go out, I just want to be left alone.

Now during this festive period I travelled to my home state and on getting home, everyone was just talking about my old song and they were disturbing me to freestyle for them.

Deep down this started making me feel like am not following my purpose in life, I started having this feeling that on my dying bed I will live to regret that I didnt following my music career and thinking about the number of people my music could have put smile on their faces. I will never forgive myself, because what is life when you cant use your talent to be of service to humanity.

When I see younger artiste like Omah lay, Bella schmurda, etc I start feeling jealous and envious and the last thing I want is to be envious of another man's success.


Now even though everywhere was a lively mood and everywhere bubbling in the studio. On going home I started becoming depressed looking at the amount of money I spent on recording ( I really wanted the best so I decided to work with an expensive professional sound engineer that worked on Wizkid made in lagos album.

I can't tell anybody about what I did because I will be mocked at home for spending such an amount on my useless music career(as they will say at home). Tears is beginning to roll down my eyes as I write this but fortunately everywhere is dark.

I am panicking and feeling the song will be wack when it comes out and am a good for nothing person. I can't hold back tears in the bus.

Below is a picture of when I was invited by glo to come and perform but I bleeped it up because I was too shy to perform well in front of the crowd, Tuface, D'banj, don jazzy, Wizkid were all present

The reason why am writing this here is because nairaland is my only home. it's my only family. I love you all

Let me remind you that. Recording your songs with the last amount in your account doesn't guarantee your blowing.

So just keep your mind at 50/50

And go look for cash for massive music promotion if not no body go hear your songs.

This is when your spending just started if you mean business.

I am a music producer, you must not spend all that huge cash, because those guys you hear will bill you madly because of their names.

But all you need was a young talented producer to give you dope beats, very nice recording and then stem out everything..

You can then send to a mix engineer to finish the job for you. That would have saved you half of what you spent cheesy
On point

I won't laugh at your experience. The song could be wack or could be great when it comes out, does it really matter? How is that particular song going to blow you up without running publicity campaigns, spend money on marketing, ads, outlook etc when you have used up your savings? The best thing would have been you creating a channel to make more money and still keep your savings, music is not like bitcoin or stocks.

What i would say is remove your mind from the song you just made and the amount of money you paid and look at how you can survive the next day. The people you referenced are having a fit in their lives too, so chin up and do something to survive the next day.
Thanks

Baba calm down.
music is about expressing yourself to others,
please express yourself to the right people and learn how to do if with confidence.

I am sure you're better than you think but as base of your lack of confidence, you may be your own enemy. if the blow wey you dey find come, shey na this confidence you wan take carry am?

meanwhile hangout with some other musicians like yourself and you will understand that they aren't really so better than you.

you should have used your life savings for something meaningful like farming

Follow your heart dude, what's there to lose. Keep writing and recording, atleast you'll know you tried your best and you can never tell wetin go sup.
Baba Fatai Rolling Dollar only got his big break at the twilight of his career, that's to tell you it's never too late.
You can have a change of environment if people at home ain't supportive enough, some people are like that, always condemning. There are like shadows to your light so japa fast fast.
All the best to you

Re: I Just Recorded A Song With My Life Savings, Am So Depressed Right Now. by cassbeat(m): 6:03pm On Jan 28, 2021
I have a beat I want to record on, skipped work today so as to record it... So I went to a producer and the price he called was beyond my budget and I'm having double mind at doing it.... Should I look elsewhere or should I just use the money I budgeted for it to do something else? But I try not to be skeptical cos its my dream and passion if I don't do it now I might not do it again.... So OP learn from this lesson cos it happened to me today.....

Besides spending money on an expensive prpject is a no no when you've not got enough to keep it running.... Cheers man... We might link up and work on something someday..... Peace

You've never wanted to be a public figure but you've always envied the public figures? Then you did a track and went ahead to give it your all so that you'll "blow" and then you're afraid you may not eventually "blow". I don't understand. Sounds like stories from RuPaul contestants. But it's fine. Wish you the best of whatever it is you really want.
He overthinks, and that's going to be his undoing.

Left for me, I would advise he start a business that brings him money daily.

Then use the business to finance his musical career.

Without money, he isn't going anyway cause marketing is money.

add your social media handle in a Re:Post of this thread hopely if it gets to FP like this one this family will be your first followers.. Take that as a stepping stone, to start your freestyle videos... Get your confidence back with the little boast you will get from this.... Learn the trick of stage performance, because that my friend is the key to your blowing... Na there your star suppose shine... Add a tint of alcohol when you do this.. They all do this including pastors... Goodluck

Am an upcomming nigerian artist too , and what i can tell you is that music is tough , especially if you aspire to be like top artists like drake, wizkid , davido and burna boy . just focus on promotion ,save money to pay bloggers to promote your music , post your songs on paying site , sell your musuc online or sign into a good record label. If you dont have millions to records song take it little by little , you must not record with big names like young john , because they would charge you much , you can save money to buy equipments and run your own studio or better still record in cheap studios untill you are financially stabled .
