Every upcoming musician wants to BLOW
(make it big) in the Nigerian music
industry.
A major question they ask at the
beginning of their musical journey is how
do I promote my music?
Since major record labels like Mavin,
Kennis Music, Chocolate city and Storm
records that can manage, package and
promote your songs will hardly get you
signed, you will need to take up
responsibility as your own music
promoter.
Experience shows that unlike the USA
where big labels like Sony BMI,
Rockafella and Young money records can
sign up an artiste based on raw talent
alone, in Nigeria you will have to
showcase your talent and songs to a
certain extent before you will be noticed
by the music promoters, marketers and
record labels.
There is the believe that without the big
bucks you cannot promote your music on
the radio stations which prompts
thoughts like if only I had a record label/
marketer/promoter.
The good thing is you can do it yourself
without putting a big hole in your pocket
and you do not have to rely on any
record label, marketer or promoter.
Following the tips below will show you
how to promote your music and get that
basic exposure while also increasing your
fan base.
Note that nothing good comes easy and
you will need to sacrifice either in form
of time, efforts, a night’s sleep just to
get what you want.
Apply the tips to your success.
1. MAKE GOOD SONGS:
Sorry I cannot teach you how to write a
song. I believe you are reading this
because you have the talent already to
compose and record a good song. but
You can read how to improve your
musical skill here The type of song you
do should be targeted to an audience
with a good taste in music. It does not
matter the genre hip-hop, rock, dance
hall, Rap, R n B, classic, alternative-
whatever! You should do music to
impress thousands of fans and not just
your family and close friends.
2. ATTEND SHOWS REGULARLY:
Be it a club performance or sponsored
show just be noticed. Keep your ears on
the ground for upcoming shows and try
to make friends with event organizers
and tell them to put you on the list of
performers and that you don’t mind doing
it for free. Talk to the DJ at the club,
give him a promo copy of your CD and
encourage him to play it on his shows.
You get to meet music industry people at
musical shows. Build and maintain your
contacts with them. You don’t know who
has a marketer in Alaba or who has a
friend in that radio station.
To make things easier and to maintain
your class we can find you good shows
and concert for you to perform, Check
out our “find me shows” service here
3. USE SOCIAL MEDIA:
Get account on social websites like
Facebook, Twitter, and instagram which
gives you the platform to interact with
your fans. Update your social network
profile regularly with interesting pictures
and videos of you. Photos from an event
you performed or a video of a studio
recording session should do. You get not
only fans from Nigeria but all over the
world with these type of websites. Social
networking is good for your music career
but we all know getting huge followers
and attention on social media is a very
big task and you may need to hire a
professional to handle the job for you. Do
not underestimate the power of the
internet in building your music career,

your download links to your fans on the

profile on these music sites and also
share it with their friends. This will keep
your songs in circulation. Do not worry
about not being paid right now. People
will pay you to perform at shows when
your songs become popular.
5. PROMOTE YOUR MUSIC ON BLOGS:
You should submit your songs with a
little profile and album art/ pictures to
the top entertainment and music blogs
and websites. Some of the best Nigerian
music/entertainment blogs. You might
ask for an interview. Some of them will
feature your profile and music; others
may not even reply your email. It is
normal as an upcoming musician to face
those things. When you become a
celebrity, most of them will come
begging you for an interview.
6. ALABA IS A FACTOR:

industry. Alaba being the headquarters of
the Nigerian music marketers, you should
familiarize yourself with the people at
Alaba. Try to get your song on the
monthly Alaba produced DJ mixes even if
you may be asked to pay for this.

musicians went to Alaba for promotion in
their upcoming days. That’s the home for
Nigerian music and movie marketers.
