On this week's Inside the Continent: @baillorjah speaks with Lagos gospel artist @badejosope Hot Sound Awards winner & Praise Ministry Awards 2025 nominee. They discussed his career, independence & songwriting. Don't forget to tune in on Sunday 29 March at 5 PM UK time
Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels wasn’t towards prostitutes, other religions, or undocumented immigrants.
Jesus’ harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God’s words to justify exploitation and oppression.
Yet many want us to believe the opposite.
AS A NEW ARTIST, THERE'S NOTHING COOL ABOUT IGNORING FANS WHO ENGAGE YOU!
If you keep talking to someone and they continue to ignore you, you will stop talking to them and move on.
Post. Engage. Sell and Engage again. As you blow, outsource. Dont stop!

Bag 1... composer as Beat Maker
Bag 2... composer as Writer or lyricist
Bag 3... Royalties from ownership of masters
Bag 4... Revenue generated from your brand as a result of a successful song!
Within these 4 bags are MULTIPLE BAGS
#FreeConsultation
Let me give you an example... As you learn more about publishing you may gradually start realising how much BAG you are leaving on the table for others to take. eg as a performer who writes, producers and owns the masters of the songs you release... 4 Bags!

Learn about publishing... Learn ONE thing every day. or every week. Just 1 aspect. Then ask your manager. If he or she does not know. teach him or her. That way you remember as well and now they know. then ask them to teach you something the next day. Watch!!!

When you see other artist who are in a better situation that you, fight the urge to bash your manager. Even you never reach there, wetin you want make him do? Instead, discuss it. Why did they get that treatment and how can you do it cost effectively?
#FreeConsultation
As an indie artist, you and your manager should have action plans and to do lists. Your job as a musician is to create music... His or her job is to develop daily. Make sure you are BOTH doing something daily that aids your personal and collective growth.

Discuss your pitch as a team and make sure you are prepared to push. If you start a conversation too early, you may lose the opportunity to be taken seriously when you actually have something to say.
Develop your plan. Clarify your targets and then

Send a message saying "My manager has an amazing idea that I thing would work great for your brand. Can I ask him to contact you?" Work on the list of people together and use your power! Do not say "but its my contact" it is also your career. Quick Note!
#FreeConsultation
Encourage your manager to network. Ask what you as the artist can do to help him or her. Especially when you are popular (even a little). A brand manager getting a message from you about a great idea is more likely to respond. Do it as a team. Here is how...

If you live in Lagos and have a massive fanbase in NYC which is hours behind you, you must fit your social media engagement schedule to fit not just their timing but their daily lifestyle so they relate to your content. You may be serving multiple bases

Social Media presents and opportunity to engage and collect data on your fans so that you can sell properly. Most of your fans may be in Lagos and if you keep pushing a platform they don't use, you lose!

Who are they? Where are they from? Will they buy music? Platforms like @theflutterwave and @paystack present fantastic platforms to identify those people who pay for what you are selling. Talk to those people differently.

To many, social media is a platform to share pictures and meet friends. Your social media is a place where you interact with potential customers. It is your customer Relations platform and the goal is conversions. But to truly sell, you must know your customers

Fight for your team. Do not allow outsiders disrespect any member of your team. From time to time they can take one for the team but make sure it is to secure your bag.
Do not allow external forces cause division. na you go suffer am.
#FreeConsultation
Learn to kill your ego indoors. Allow your team be honest with you. They can back you up and hail you in public but make sure they are telling you the truth with the world is away. Give the environment for that honesty to thrive!
