Here are a couple of tips for those who intend building a
career as artistes in the music industry.
*Some artistes coming into the industry think getting signed
to a record label is the ultimate to becoming popular and making money. This is
a very wrong way of thinking because some record labels will in fact derail you
and make a mess out of your career. Take Olamide and Skales for example,
Olamide became a success as an independent artiste while Skales was stuck when
he was with his former label.
Every artiste should have a solid manager, strive to build a
strong fan base, have a good working relationship with OAPs and Djs. Make good
music, earn money and be able to bring their own terms to negotiations when any
record labels comes calling.
