Artistes Only:- 7 Facts Why Most Upcoming Artistes Will Never Blow

Most upcoming artistes fail to blow not by destiny or ill
luck, but as a result of lack of priorities, styles and many
more which we shall discuss.

1. They Don’t Advertise Themselves
If you think miracle is all you need to blow, then you must
be seriously sleeping on a moving bicycle. To blow in
Nigeria, you have to advertise yourself aggressively and
give it whatever it takes. As a matter of fact, it’s not a bad
idea advertising that track of yours on stellanaija where
we have music freaks who are always at alert to download
Stellanaija front page musics, and may not even hesitate
to share it with their friends if it’s really worth it. You can
ask Qdot and Olamide, they will confirm to you that good
music will surely help your Career.

2. They Patronize Cheap Producers
You need not sing like Michael Jackson before you blow.
However, the impact of good production cannot be
overemphasized anytime any day. Most upcoming artistes
may not blow because they always patronize backyard
producers who will produce 5 tracks for them at the rate of
N10, 000. Ooooh common that ridiculously cheap !!.
We know you are not rich yet! But at least, spending as
little as N20, 000 to produce a single track is much more
better than seeking producers who produce 5 tracks for
N10, 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
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 what not. 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 blow

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 I 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 track?

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
was composed within the ambit of 5mins. That is, they sing
a chorus repeatedly for about three minutes after which a
verse will follow suite and that’s the end of the song.
Haba !!! It may be working for Vizkid but that doesn’t
mean you should try that

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 2face already has his own style and that’s his
brand…. 😛
