how to become a musician in nigeria

get in a band

  • Join a band that has a good reputation and is well known.
  • Be prepared to work hard.
  • Be ready for criticism, both constructive and otherwise.
  • Examples of bands in Nigeria that are popular include:
  • D’banj (singer) and Don Jazzy (producer) of Mo’Hits Records;
  • Wizkid (singer) and OJB Jezreel (producer) of Starboy Entertainment;
  • Wizkid alone on his own label YSB (Young Superstar);

have your own unique style and identity

  • Have your own unique style and identity.
  • Be original.
  • Be creative.
  • Try different styles, find what suits you. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new sounds and ideas that may seem strange at first. If you like it, keep doing it! Don’t copy other musicians too much; they may be more successful than you are because of the work that they put into their craft, but also because of how many followers they already have through social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram as well as live performances at various venues around town (and even internationally). You don’t need tons of money to make good music; just do what makes sense for YOU!

have good song writing skills

You must have good song writing skills. You can’t just write any old thing and expect people to listen to it. People will only listen if your songs are worth listening to, which means they must be well-written with good lyrics and a catchy melody.

How do you know if your songwriting is good?

Let’s take a look at some examples of bad lyrics: “I love my mom.” This could be improved by adding why he loves her: “I love my mom because she takes me out for pizza once a week.” So now we know why he loves his mom, but the problem still remains that this isn’t exactly an original concept; most people say they love their moms! The solution is simple: add something unique about how or why she does something special for him (she makes homemade bread every Friday). Also note that although it may seem obvious, the word “because” should always precede an explanation in order for readers’ minds not wander off into unintended areas (such as thinking about what else might happen on Fridays).

be good at performing on stage

When you get on stage, you’ll be performing. You need to practice with other musicians in order to create good sounds and rhythms, but it’s also important to practice performing on your own. Perform in front of friends and family members who can give you honest feedback about how well or poorly the performance went. If possible, perform for strangers as well—their reactions can offer valuable insight into what works and what doesn’t work during a live show. Practice performing in front of mirrors—it’ll help improve your posture and helps build confidence as well!

Finally, there’s no substitute for practicing with an audience around—friends or family members are fine if no one else is available (and remember: they can still provide feedback after the fact).

promote yourself on social media sites like facebook, twitter, instagram etc.

As a musician, it’s important that you promote yourself on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Social media is a great way to build your brand and connect with fans who will ultimately help you make money as an artist. However, the way you use these sites is critical because they can either be powerful tools or useless time wasters if not used properly.

Here are some tips for using social media as a platform for promoting yourself:

Create an official website where people can find more information about your music and upcoming shows. This should be the first place people go when looking for info about your band or solo work (see this article about websites). On this site provide links to all of your social media profiles so that anyone interested in what you have going on will have easy access to it via one central location!

Create fan pages on Facebook and Instagram where fans can follow along with what’s going on behind-the-scenes within the world of music.”

its not easy to become a musician in nigeria

It’s not easy to become a musician in Nigeria. Before you decide to pursue this career path, you should know that the competition is fierce, with only the best rising to the top. As a musician, you need to have your own unique style and identity that sets you apart from other artists. You also need good song writing skills as well as being able to perform on stage.

If you aren’t sure if becoming a musician is right for you or even if it will work out for them in Nigeria, then it might be better for someone else who has more experience than they do at this point in their life; however, if they really want

it then maybe giving themselves time will help them improve their abilities so they can take advantage when opportunities come around later on down life’s road.”
