SCHOOL OF MUSIC--- THE BEST PRODUCER TO WORK WITH

SCHOOL OF MUSIC:: THE BEST PRODUCER TO WORK WITH

I decided to talk about this so I can help most of you planning to record new songs soonest get direction. Working with many young artistes lately, I noticed the obsession most of them have with the big producers. Most young artistes are dreaming of working with Wole Oni, Cohbams Asuquo, SMJ, MasterKraft, Gospel on the beat, Salz etc.

Now there's really no problem with wanting to work with a big name producer except for two things. The fact that you don't have the money to pay for their fees and you are putting yourself under unnecessary pressure.

The second problem which is even why I am making this post is the Mentality that these big names have the ability to blow you. Lol. What a joke! If you are struggling to work with the big names because you think your song will blow if it was produced by Wole Oni or Any of the big names, you are such a joke and I will show you why.

Do you know hundreds of songs out there produced by this big names that didn't blow?
Now am I saying they can not add value to your song? Nope that's not what I am saying. Of course most of them have wealth of experience which if they apply it well, it can help your production. What makes a produce big is just because they produce one or two hit songs right? And most times that happened based on a lot of factors. It is not like they have magic touch oo.

Don't be carried away with big names especially if you can't afford them now comfortably. After recording, you need much more money for promotion. There are a lot of very good music producers out there who have not made name yet and they hungry to blow too. Look at that direction and get your songs done.

The best producer to work with as an artiste if you want to blow fast, is a producer that listens. Not about name or popularity. A producer that doesn't listen to the artiste is a terrible producer and can not intentionally blow any artiste.

Why is this important? It is because every song you either wrote or received, has a mood, feelings, emotions behind it, sometimes even concept which only you the writer knows and feel. A listening producer will listen to you to understand the song. The feeling, mood, emotion and concept of the song. It is with such understanding that he can create a hit. Even his addition and suggestions will be in line and in tune with what you have received originally. This is key. I have seen producers kill a song that's suppose to blow..

Blowing your songs has nothing or very little to do with a big producer after all, Uncle Wole Oni is responsible for a lot of gospel hits but he wrote and recorded his own song, shot video to it and the song didn't blow. If a producer can't blow his own song then he's not the one with the power to blow you.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC::: THE OTHER SIDE OF CONSISTENCY

SCHOOL OF MUSIC::: THE OTHER SIDE OF CONSISTENCY.. Recently I was listening to some songs I received from some young artistes and I really felt that these songs have the potential to go farther, reach more people and make more impact than it has done. I even listened to two songs of this Abuja based artiste and everytime I listened to those songs, I am convinced that this song has everything it takes to go viral. I recently sent one of the songs to a friend and he told me that the song has been on repeat ever since, he asked me for the name of the artiste so he could get more of his songs. You see erhn, one of the saddest things I have seen, observed or noticed with gospel artistes especially the young ones, is the rush to drop new songs. They are in a hurry to abandon the old songs they have released and start planning and pursuing the release of a new song. Some of these songs they have abandoned and rush off to drop new songs actually hold the key to their breakthrough but because t...

SCHOOL OF MUSIC - THE STRUGGLE FOR RELEVANCE AFTER BLOWING

SCHOOL OF MUSIC ::: THE STRUGGLE FOR RELEVANCE AFTER BLOWING Recently I have been thinking a lot about some artistes who dropped Hits back then and went extinct. Truth is that they are actually active in music but you don't get to hear them because they have no more hits. Yes many of them are releasing and promoting their songs ooooo but for where? You don't get to hear them because the songs are not blowing again. To figure out how to address the matter, we have to first know what their problem really is. The real problem is that these guys blow by accident. Accident is never an organized structure to replicate. If you blow by accident and be thinking it is grace, you will struggle for years to make another hit until you go extinct. Hit songs are created intentionally and if you don't know how this works, you are in for struggle. When Psquare broke up, I told people that Paul Rudeboy will be more relevant in music than Peter P Classic. I got to know that Rudeboy was respon...
