SCHOOL OF MUSIC -- INFLUENCE GETS YOUR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD

SCHOOL OF MUSIC::

Few years ago, I saw a movie titled dream girls. Beautiful movie, featuring Beyonce, Jenifer Huddson, Jamie Fox and others. It is a musical film and I totally enjoyed the movie...

This post is not so much about the quality of the movie but about a statement Jamie fox made in that movie that changed everything for me.

Jamie fox and his friend owned a record label with one artiste signed to the label. Jamie's friend wrote a beautiful song for the artiste. She sang the song so well, the final recording, mixed and mastered was presented to Jamie fox to listen to.

Jamie listened to the song for a few seconds and said to them that this is not the song they should release for this artiste.

His friend was shocked and he said to Jamie fox that the song was the right song because it has a very very good message. Then Jamie looked at him and said..

"A song is not supposed to just have a good message, a song is supposed to sell"

You see that Statement right there is everything!! What sells a song is not really the message. Only a message that is intentionally written can sell a song.

Ever wondered why most secular songs that are popular don't have good or responsible messages?

As an artiste, you must take that statement seriously. A song is supposed to sell otherwise whatever messages you have in it is useless.

Imagine if "you are great" by Steve Crown did not sell, the world won't have heard his message that everything written about God is great.

Imagine if "Intentional" by Travis Green did not sell, the world would have missed out on such a beautiful message that God is intentional with the things He allowed us go through in life.

Until your song is popular, your message is defeated. This is why every artiste who has a message must desire to make their songs hit.

Learn what it takes to make a hit song or make your songs popular and make it happen.

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...
