MY MUSIC MONDAY
(Written in Pidgin English) Yet to blow artist: Baba how far nah, hear my song gimme feedback.
Me: I for charge you oh but you be my guy *plays the record*.
Yet to blow artist: So boss wetin you feel?
Me: Mehn! Based on say u be my real gee, I go advice make u find sponsor or save money meet better producer and sound engineer make them put you out there except if u wan use all these 10k producers run mix tape or demo. Most of them go fit mix your tape to average level. But if you still feel say the jam tight based on feedback and you go like promote am, then no lele. As I talk before, I suppose charge you but I don do pro bono for your matter.
Yet to blow artist: Thank you chairman, go let you know as e dey go.

That above is what I encounter when people get to realize the fact that I’m in the industry and a connoisseur. Everyone wanna make the quick bucks that comes with fame without doing the needful. Uncle upcoming, haven’t you ever thought of why people pay Sarz $4,000k for some hours with him to perform some magic which is termed studio sessions? (According to Eeba by DJ Jimmy Jatt featuring Sossick, Sarz). The answer is surfaced laced, and it’s simply because he is a professional who can give you what you want and make it enjoyable. That’s music baby!, you listening to some melody without even understanding the language the artist is delivering in but you just connect to it like my eastern brother Phyno.

I’m an A&R Gee and in the course of doing what I love doing I have witnessed memorable moments with L3 (Chocolate City’s sound engineer and producer) groom my artists and saw a whole lotta difference with paying for value and a brand. You gotta know that they got a name to protect and so would go the extra length to see that the mixing of the beats and vocals are well balanced and nothing is losing in their ends. That is just one aspect oh!

Another is Social Media presence in this Social Media take over. How active are you Uncle? what do you use it for? Has it benefited you so far in this context? How many artists have you tweeted at bout your career? How many people in your field like OAPs, Managers, Label executives, have you bugged on Instagram in unconventional ways to give you little attention? You got your song online at least on a blog? .etc.
