Because I know what you guys go through to promote your
songs and be heard, because I was once a very talented music artiste like you, I
once face this same struggle for fame and I feel the pain in your heart when
you can’t get that support you so desire from the real people who make things
happen... and with my level of exposure and success in the entertainment
industry today, am sure I can share one or two key view and possible solutions
with you guys.
I was an artiste turn talent manager and promoter. I couldn’t
make it through due to financial constrains… so I went back to school, get a
degree in Business Administration and return to the industry as a major
industry player… my passion has been to transform the industry struggle faced
by many talented artistes like me… who can’t watch their career and showbiz
dream sleep away.
I am now into full media; I run my own label, produce my own
movies and TV programs, worked with other major stars, run my own artiste management
with 5 good artistes. I decided to run as a major player cause I realize my
passion is not all about me. If the race is about me, then I don’t need to work
with any artiste. I could just go straight back to the studio and produce my
own songs, promote myself to the top and enjoy the stardom. But I think am more
comfortable and happier working with talents and watching them grown.
On my BBM, Whatsapp, Twitter and Facebook, I have loads of
music promoter, PR and so call online publicists. I read loads and loads of BC
and adverts they post and I pity any talented new-comer artiste who has no
money to spend and probably have no backing of an experienced industry person
who knows his/her way round. The truth is most of this guys are just hustlers
like you, hungry lions, looking around to exploit artistes and the inexperience
ones.
After studying these scenarios for a very long time I try to
figure out a way to help. I have two great entertainment shows running on DSTV
and Startimes (BigspinShow and Making of A Star). I deal with varieties of
artistes from new comers to the super stars… Truth be told, as much as I want
to see many artistes grow, I still can’t single handedly change the industry, I
can’t sponsor more than an artiste or two at a time.
I am so concern; I feel your pain… now we want to see how we
can all work together and fight these industry vultures who take advantage of
you.
Drop a comment if you feel for change and let’s find a supportive
solution
I need minimum of 100 artistes to place a comment to know am
not alone, before I roll out the supportive solution on my mind.
