how to blow.

As an artiste manager, i ve worked with a whole variety of artistes. The paramount question on the mind and liops of any undergroun or yet to blow artiste is, what do i do to hit the limelight? when i was promoting Timaya, he had those doubts too, but i told him believe in your self and he did that. today he is one of Nigeria's most renowned artiste. asides self belief, what other ingredients do artistes neeed to breeak into a saturated Nigerian market. This is aguide to upcoming artistes.
the first step is to detach your self from "market trends". Many naija guyz feel that jumping on the band wagon is a sure key to success. currently, mosy artistes i have spoken to want to do a Terry G. Hear them: "if a just do one track with terrg, i don blow be that!" they fail to realize that T>G has done over 100 tracks in the lasy year, but only about 10 are popular hits. every artiste or musician should know his or her forte and work on his/her strong points. you can work with any producer that is good, as long as u have a good song and concept. it does not have to be terrry g or id cabassa.
Artiste must avoid the local champion mentality, some of us are so tided to our local environment we forget there is a world out there! travel far and wide to promote your song(s). you do not give your CDs to radio stations only, give them to joints, saloons,shops and streeet djs.

mr timaya

Born Inetimi odon in the then River state, Timaya has risen to be one of Nigeria's top acts. His style consists of simple lyrics delivered at fast pace with tremendious intensity and energy. His debut album, True Story, flipped the script of mainstream naija music. He literally blew up from no where.

Timaya stared out as Pompous in Port - Harcourt in the early nineties. his early musical influences where mainly reagee the main music then. Due to his he passion for music his parents sent him to Lagos to stay with his elder sister Idubamo Fekumo. He was then sent to Ikeja Gramma school to continue his studies. He continued to be a rebel for music there,but his sister's heavy hands was there to guide him.

Along the line he hooked up with UDX an emerging rap group, and did a track on their album with them. His raw energy could be felt even at that young age. He was also working with Eedris underground at the time. He was a frequent face at his mangoro estate residence. At the Kennis music Easter festival 2004,he was a back up singer on stage for Eedris. After his secondary education, he heaaded back to the Niger Delta and continued to follow his passion.

He re-emerged in Lagos in 2006 as Timaya, with a renewed fire. After his liason with Danny Wilson and Basorge T jnr failed, Wisdom came to the rescue and ensured that he finished his job with K solo at the sound bakery. Before then he had taken part in many talent hunt competitions in Port harcourt and Bayelsa.

He hooked up with Namse Udosen AKA menthol x,who helped in the production of Pomporo, ahit track on the album. He also helped in promoting in Album at the initial stage in Cross river and Akwa Ibom states. The rest they say is history.

His second album has received rave reviews and is not doing badly on the charts. Timaya is the most sort after artist for colabo and that dosen't come cheap. On stage he is also a delight to watch, recently at the star trek in orlu he killed the crowed by bringing them back to life with his energy. Keep it Timaya.

silver sounds

I am back again. I ve just been listening to some new stuff from naija boiz, i wonder if they will ever improve. I heard one sheyman guy singing 'hoter than fire and am trying to figure out what he is all about. when asked what type of music he plays he replies : 'funky hiphop ragga'! what is that? Almost every artist in Naija wants to be hiphop by force. It is either Afro- hiphop or fuji hiphop or garbage hiphop. it is driving me crazy!
