SCHOOL OF MUSIC:: FORCE OF COMMAND. There are two basic forces of Influence and one of them is the force of command. In my book "EASIEST WAY TO BECOMING A MUSIC SUPERSTAR" I explained this Concept very well under the Laws of Influence. The force of Influence is the greatest of the two forces of Influence and once you understand how this works and apply it correctly to your songs, it will be an instant super hit. If you use it wrongly or ignore it, even a potential hit song will not blow. I will give you a few examples of this as I proceed. Influence is Attention. The best way to get attention is by command. Nobody resist commands. Using the force of Influence on your song is a strategy that causes your song to command attention. This is very important and must be taken note of consciously in your song arrangements. Let me tell you this secret for free, a hit song must be able to command attention between the first 15-30 seconds of it's play. Read that again, the first...

SCHOOL OF MUSIC ::: SONG REVIEW ESSENCE. Recently I have been privileged to review songs for a couple of Artistes. Then I observed a few things that I want to talk about. First, I like to know, what's the idea behind sending or paying professionals to review your songs after recording, What is in your mind as the owner of the song? What do you hope to hear? Great song I guess? Lol. You want them to listen and tell you that this song is BLOWN in the realm of the spirit already? Hehehehehehe. I sincerely question the intention behind you sending your already recorded songs for review if you truly want an honest feedback. Some of you don't even have the luxury to effect any corrections after the song have been recorded. For some of you, your mind is already made up, you feel good with your song but you just need someone to boast your confidence more by telling you that the song is Dope. Lol. Of course most times when the Artistes send song for review, they want to hear that t...

SCHOOL OF MUSIC:: BRINGING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR SONGS.                              Chapter Three            Bring Out The Best From Your Song This is one topic I am very passionate about. Bringing out the best in your songs is a command. It is serious and every recording artistes must take it seriously. In my career as a celebrity music coach, I have seen many hit songs die in the studio. They were killed either by the producer or the artistes. Every song deserves the best. Now the word best is relative. To some, they think that giving a song the best means paying a popular producer huge money to produce the song. A popular producer is no guarantee that your song will become a hit. When I say give your song the best, I mean that you should give it attention. Pay attention to details. Don't rush ...

SCHOOL OF MUSIC::: RELATIONSHIP VALUES I have a few very important messages to pass to all emerging Artistes. This message has become necessary at this moment because I notice that most of you young Artistes are guilty of what I am about to share with you. A lot of you don't understand the value of relationship, you don't know how powerful relationship is and what you can get freely through relationships. Most of you send or receive a friend request from somebody, next thing you send your song link inbox to the person to download with no message to it. No hellos, no greetings, just a random song link for download. This is so so wrong. You will repel more people than gaining friends and followers using this approach. Someone who just became your friend on Facebook doesn't know you. The primary reason for social media is to socialize, not for marketing, buying and selling as it were. Yes I know very well that social media has become a global market where we buy and sell a...

SCHOOL OF MUSIC:::: MUSIC AND EMOTIONS (part two)                  MUSIC EMOTION Like I said earlier, there are different kinds of emotion generally and not all of them work in music, for example, the emotion of fear and anger. Your aim is not to put fear in people or make them angry unless there's a particular course you want to achieve with your song. But emotion of love is a good tool to use in your music. Now writing songs that talks about love is not necessarily a love song. You can even mention love a hundred times in a song and it is still not a love song. A love song is a song that inspires the emotion of love in the listener. Yes! This is why you could just listen to some songs and just want to fall in love. Even if you have been badly hurt by love, a good love song will make you want to love again. If you have seen the movie Titanic, you would be inspired to love. Now Titanic was a story about ...
