Reasons why most upcoming artistes won’t blow
Most upcoming artistes fail to grow, not by destiny or ill luck, but as a result of lack of priorities, styles and many more which we shall outline in this article.
1. They Don’t Advertise Themselves
If you think miracle is all you need to grow, then you must be seriously sleeping on a moving train. To grow in the music industry, you have to advertise yourself aggressively and give it whatever it takes. As a matter of fact, you need be promoting that song of yours on popular blogs and socials, although it won’t be a bad idea doing it with us as we have large audience to hear you. You can consult top artistes in your State or City, they will confirm to you that good music will surely help your music career.
2. They Patronize Cheap Producers
You need not sing like Davido before you will grow. However, the impact of good production cannot be overemphasized anytime any day.
Most upcoming artistes may not grow because they always patronize backyard producers who will produce 5 songs for them at the rate of N15,000. Ooooh nooo… Come on, that is ridiculously cheap!!.
We know you are not rich yet! But at least, spending as little as N15,000 – N20,000 to produce a single song is much more better than seeking producers who produce 5 songs for N15,000.
3. Lack of Creativity
What makes one stand out amongst his peers is creativity and uniqueness. However, many upcoming artistes fail to get to the peak of their dreams not because witches and wizards are following them, but because they are not creative in any way.
4. Pride
Pride is also a determinant of how far one will go in his/her music career. However, it is very evident that it’s the habit of most upcoming artistes to always give people a false sense of their financial status through their dressings, spending and so on.
They are sometimes proud that they raise shoulders to people who are meant to help or make their dreams come true in a little way they can. This is one of the reasons why many of them have failed to grow.
5. Poor Dress Sense
They say your appearance is the first letter of recommendation. The mode of dressing of many upcoming artistes is sometimes childish and annoying.
You see many of them dressing like masquerades; looking unkempt, poor colour combination, unattractive hairstyle, and many more which we cannot mention.
The truth of the matter is that, when your appearance cannot catch people’s fancy, how do you convince them to listen to your song?
6. Immature Lyrics
Good lyrics and punch lines is all you need to at least gain some recognition. When you listen to the songs of many upcoming artistes, you will keep wondering if the songs were composed within the ambit of 5 minutes. That is, they sing a chorus repeatedly for about 3 minutes after which a verse will follow suite and that’s the end of the song. So funny…
7. Imitating The Style Of Others
To succeed in life, you have to do something others are not doing or what they have never done.
As a matter of fact, we know that Davido already has his own style and that’s his brand, so why copy his style as a leverage to also get to limelight?, when you know that you may be seen as a copycat. Try to build up your own style!!
That’s all we’ve got on this article.
