On my journey to becoming one of Nigeria's finest artiste, I'll do it one verse at a time, one song at a time, and one project at a time.
Watch out for the artiste C3 Garbi.
PLS RT.🙏
One of the clearest signs of high-standard people is that they don’t compete with, belittle, or resent others. Even at their lowest, they are never haters.
A lot of emerging Artiste attribute their inability to build a team to lack of money.
But if you are an emerging Artiste who has been doing music for close to 3 years and is unable to build a solid team, it is more often than not a character and people-skills issue than lack of resources.
Your inability to inspire confidence, influence people, communicate your vision, and express your creativity in a way that makes others believe in you enough to contribute their skill, time and resources to help you succeed has a lot to do with your character, personality and worldview.
And until you look inward and fix up, you will continue to find it difficult to attract and retain quality people.
Achieving significant results in music as an Artiste often requires leveraging the strengths, skills, and efforts of other people.
Just like behind every great movie is a crew that worked behind the scene, no one builds anything meaningful alone.
As an emerging Artiste, you may not have abundant financial resources, but you must develop the ability to attract people to your vision, align them around a common goal, and build a team that can help execute it.
Money certainly helps, but before people invest their time, talent, and energy in your journey, they first need to believe in you.
Don’t just be good, be valuable.
Do you know why most celebrity relationships don’t last? Because they love dating other celebrities. Two people can’t both be chasing the spotlight at the same time. One person has to be low-key, otherwise the relationship turns into a brand instead of a partnership.
The worst thing you can do to yourself while in search of a partner is focus on vanity and overrate yourself, while being unrealistic. Unfortunately, too many people fall into this category till it’s too late, then they start optimizing.
I like reserved women. The ones who don’t have a large audience on social media. No drama, no gossip, no strangers poking their noses into your marriage or relationship. Let me be the active one online, not her. 😊😊
No matter how much I love my wife, I will never allow myself to be used for content that makes me look less masculine. I’m the man of the house, not a prop for social media.
Nigerian’s definition of “wisdom”.
I pity you.
Until they ask you to send your data page on the spot, you lose whatever deal, you also lose trust. 🫱🏻🫲🏾
This is the problem Nigerians have tbh
You want him to say yes to something he doesn’t have or has not started making plans for , now imagine the man told him to send a copy ASAP ???
Honesty does a whole lot and that doesn’t mean you’re not serious with your life
It’s applauding that he was honest. If I ask you that question, chances are I’m moving quickly. If you lied that you have got it and I ask you to send a copy of your passport page and it takes you 2 weeks, you’d have broken my trust and have shown no integrity, everything ends.
Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.
I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.
I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.
I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.
My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦♂️
At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.
Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.
