Today, to empower you with the right knowledge to making it BIG in the music
industry, we will be sharing some key strategies with you. Today's strategy is
titled: 10 Easy Steps to becoming a Successful Music Artiste in Nigeria.

Now The stuff we have for you.

With artistes’ rates moving from five to seven figures in recent years, it is
indeed safe to say that the Nigerian Music Industry is growing. This growth
might not necessarily stem from the depth of lyrics as we have seen many
Nigerian artistes move from deep, emotive lyrics like “Sweet Mother” to repetitive
lyrics like “Pop pop pop Champagne” or “Take Banana till you go yo” which has
an amazing record breaking 16 repeats intro to the song.

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”?

What has changed in the Nigerian Music scene? Is it the psych/choice of the
listening audience or the mentality of the musicians? Or could we attribute it to the
age difference?

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.

My years of experience in the Nigerian music industry as an onlooker, songwriter,
bathroom singer and a beat maker, has given me 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 10 proven
steps you must follow religiously to become a successful artiste in Nigeria!

1. Mugu Master 101
You might be asking yourself “Wait a minute is this guy telling me to lick boots” Well Yes!
If you must also know, lick the sole and laces of your boss’s boots along. The reason I
tagged this as Mugu Master 101 is because, if you can’t act as a JJC in this industry, then
trust me you are going nowhere! When I say act as a mugu, I mean be humble and gentle,
act like you know no one, you have nothing and your voice is “just there” be willing to put
aside your ego and listen to what the big boss (Coughs Don Jazzy) says. Even if it takes you
two to four years to complete the Mugu 101 course, do so. Trust me this makes for a good
“Humble Beginning” story so that when you finally sing “Fly” as Tuface did to announce his
successful graduation from Kennis Music, people would be drawn to you. Wizkid, Dbanj and
9ice did it, so you also can do it.

2. Use this music formula (beat, lyrics and tune)
Iyanya had to drop his “baby they don’t know how I feel about you” lyrics for “All my ladies…
nze nze” after he had the privilege to listen to this advice you are reading at no cost.

The kind of beat you should use must be fast-paced; you will find it in Davido’s “Omo Baba
Olowo” and in many of “Terry G’s songs”.I’m assuming you are an average singer with no
music experience, so I will advise you to stay away from P-Square’s beats if you don’t have
the right tunes and sensible lyrics to back it up.

Worried about your lyrics making sense? That shouldn’t be a problem because it doesn’t matter
as long as you’re able to form whatever words that pops up in your head even if it is “bla blab la
bla”…that’s another form of expressing yourself. .

Ok, let’s do a simple practice on how to make up the perfect “meaningless” lyrics. Look at a chick
(if you are a guy), what would you like to tell her? (You dey do me strong thing?) nah! Banky W has
done that.

Think about something you love (food, blackberry) or something Nigerian (Koboko). It will be silly to
sing something like “Your love dey sweet me like Koboko” are you for real? Koboko dey sweet for body?
Sing in tangent with the beat even of it means distorting the lyrics like “E dey pain me like Kobokoko
kobokoko kobokoko”

For the tune, look for a famous foreign tune and morph it into yours. Remove the Doh-reh-mis and add
your own. A Brick&Lace “Love is Wicked” beats can be morphed into many songs.

Imagine this was formed using the “Love is wicked beats”:
E just pain like Kobokoko
Yagayaga zagazaga
Day wey you pass for Amukoko
You and your friend on Okada…
Now doesn’t that sound just like it?

3. 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.

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. (This is not a sub for special ed)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.
5. 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.
6. Form a dance step

I’m serious about this. Let’s follow the trend of people who have their own dance steps. They
get popular. Nigerians are always looking for new dance steps. Marvelous Benji did the “Suo”.
Daddy Showkey brought us the “Galala”, and Iyanya introduced the “Kukere”. Ghana’s Azonto
is still trending and we have found people like Wizkid doing their own version. 9ice had his own
signature dance step. So did Tuface. MayD has this very unique dance step that looks like Azonto
on both feet. P-Square remixed the Azonto step by giving us a hybrid version which they titled
“Alingo”. You should come up with your own step if you are creative enough.
7. 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 and Lebete”
while Tuface never fails to remind us that “Nothin dey happen”.

You can use something like “Jati-jati”. Just a suggestion though.

8. Pally with bloggers

You see yourself? After all the yanga and the blasting that you do on Twitter,
you will still come back and beg the bloggers to publish and promote your
songs for free. Bloggers can make or kill your songs o. don’t try us. Oh. I didn’t
mention that I am a blogger too.

9. Collabo with the right people

Nobody knows you and you want to collabo (record a duet) with an unknown
artiste. Are you a learner? It is important to know your genre of music and feature
the right people. For example imagine collaboration between Bez and Terry G? Or
DBanj and Asa? Trying to imagine it gives me a migraine.

If you are an Afro-pop artiste like Tuface, consider doing something with a Waje,

Tiwa Savage (for the voice) or an MI, Ice Prince (for the rap) or a D’Prince, Wande,

Wizkid (for the style).

10. Stick to the elders (OAPs, Social Media publicists, events managers)

Your best friends and allies should be the On-Air-personalities, Social Media peeps,
Events Managers and Music Producers. Consult these ogas at the top before you record.
Ask the OAPs “What kind of songs do you callers like to listen to?”
Ask the bloggers “What kinds of songs get the most hits”. “How do I create hype for
my song or get Eko Hotel to host my event?

Ask Clarence Peters “What kind of videos do people prefer to watch”.
I’m not trying to tell you to follow the crowd; I’m trying to provide you with the necessary
guidelines to create your own strategy.

Putting all these together will help you go a long way in the industry.

So, that's it for today.

UNIVASALEVA:
For two years now,I have been facing scam in the name of searching for a record label. Left for me,I believe that the Nigerian music industry should be structured in such a way that once a person declares himself a musician,ofcourse he or she should atleast start making a little money even he is not yet so successful. This brings me to this situation whereby a record label we ask you for #10,000 claiming that is for the lawyer. Why should a record label that should sponsor me not afford that amount. Please if there is anyone who will come across that can make the structure better,please help us because is a career not a try your luck thing not frustrated though. People asking me for money may be fake but the question is,does it mean that there are no real record labels anymore. UNIVASAL EVAGRIN is my stage name. You can get my links online. For me,I still dey search shaa. 08167987421. Guys how can we tackle this challenge Please.

Does Nigeria Music Lack Depth?

As many other Nigerians, I am a very big music fanatic and I like music that makes a lot of sense, sometimes it does not come across as your regular everyday sound. The fact that I can make meaning out of the song (not necessarily being able to relate with it) and put myself sometimes in the thought of the writer of the song, I ask myself, has music lost its depth in Nigeria?

Today I bought SIA's album off the play-store after listening to her single off the Album "1000 forms of fear" from the radio, I was really impressed because when you hear the lyrics of that song, you would know there is a lot of profundity in it. I was so curious to finding out more about that single and I went to YouTube to watch the video, that also blew my mind away (okay, just so you know I am not here to promote her. I want to drive a point home).

I got tired of listening to Foreign music and I decided to tune in to local radio and I heard a Nigerian Artiste which I would not want to mention, singing. I was really disgusted. I was disgusted not because of the voice or the beats, I was disgusted because these days people do not know why they go into music, most Nigerian artiste go into music not because they want to pass a message but because they feel that is a very informal shortcut of getting rich quick and also their ticket to fame and because of this, what drives them is not the passion to send a message across but the passion to elevate their current social status and to make their bank accounts blue.

In my humble opinion, making music is for critical thinkers, highly intelligent individuals and in the same vein people who want to pass a message across. Its sad to say, Nigerian artistes are not critical thinkers, they just dish out whatever trash they feel would "sell" except for a selected few who are doing their thing without fear of whether the masses appreciate them or not, people like Lindsey, Blackmagic, Age Beeka, Blaise, Styl-Plus and there is just something about these people "they are t a l e n t e d" in every sense of the word. There is also another sad similarity among-st them "they are broke" in comparison to their Nigeria counterpart. The question I often ask, is it that Nigeria and Nigerians dont appreciate good music or they don't relate with their music in the way they should? A few thoughts came to my head and the only plausible answer I could give myself is that Nigerians themselves are not deep-critical thinkers. The average person runs from everything that challenges their thought process in a way they cannot comprehend and this is the reason why mediocre prevails both in the music scene and other spheres of the country.

The biggest reason why I would forever give respect to FELA is because he went into music to pass a message, and pass that message in his own way. Now before Fela, his kind of sound was not mainstream. I doubt if any other person has attempted it, but that was totally unique to him and he got the accolade he deserved. Fast foward to these recent times. Wande Coal brought a new feel to Music which WizKid came and did better justice to and was better known for it. Wizkid started making so much money, it now dawned on the younger generation that they can be like Wizkid and make money too. Almost every Nigerian artiste now sings like Wizkid and in the desperation to just be out there, nobody wants to think of thought provoking lyrical details to their works. The only category of musicians that try in this aspect are the rappers and this is because the bar has being raised so high that you cannot but impress.

There has been a couple of similar write-ups as this, and I really do not intend that my post makes front-page but it was very uncanny to know that the first day I wrote this write-up, for reasons I do not know, I just archived it and two days later, a thread of this sort was on front-page. It goes to say that I am not the only person thinking this way. I CANT a handful of Nigerian music that would be ever blue to me.

In other words, this is a plea to both our producers, musicians, artistes and the likes MAKE MUSIC OUR GENERATION WOULD TRIP INTO NOSTALGIA WHEN LISTENING TO IN 10-20 years.
