@Davidhennesssy_ 4 track ep with very good songs: $10k budget to market each song.
At least one should pop or you should see a potential on one of the songs with that budget. Then after redirect capital on the song with the most potential and go crazy.
How I see it sha
Nigerians have this terrible habit of pocket watching and sizing people.
It has become such a habit that they don't even realize when they're doing it.
The average Nigerian will size you up before according you any level of respect. From customer service staff at the bank to receptionists, waiters, waitresses, business owners, people at the gym, parties, clubs—you name it.
You could be talking to a Nigerian for the first time, and they'd be stylishly looking at the kind of phone you're using, the watch you're wearing, the car you drive, the wig you're wearing, your bag, and so on. The moment they perceive you to be rich, you can immediately notice the difference in how they talk to you and treat you.
And this is exactly why so many Nigerians live fake lives.
They call it packaging.
People have realized that looking rich often gets you more respect than actually being respectable. So everybody is trying to look like they're doing better than they really are.
This sizing culture is also why Nigerians pocket watch so much.
People are constantly calculating how much you make in a month, what you do for a living, how you can afford to travel all the time, where you got the money to buy your car, how you're able to live in a particular neighborhood, and so on.
They don't do this because they want to be inspired to go harder. Most times, it is simply pocket watching.
Someone said a few days ago that, "So a helicopter flight in Monaco is $150, and Sophia Egbueje made it look like $100,000."
Mind you, she didn't imply it. She didn't say anything about the cost. But because Nigerians are professional pocket watchers, they filled in the gaps themselves and ran with it.
They do this all the time.
And the craziest part about pocket watching is that once people have sized you up, mentally calculated how much you make, and concluded that you're rich, they automatically start thinking they're entitled to some of the money you make.
Such a ridiculous way to live life.
Artists and producers: Reply with ONE song you’ve made that you genuinely believe could get you a $200,000 deal if the right A&R from Sony, UMG, Mavin or any major label heard it. Not your newest song. Not your favorite song. The one RECORD you’d bet your career on.
having friends who work in the same industry as me is so nice. people tend to undermine all the things that go into being a creative if you’re not famous, so it’s refreshing to be surrounded by ppl who respect the things ppl view as unnecessary
