The Sad Part About The Music Industry Is That When It's Free Entry, They Rely On Local Acts But When There's Large Money Involved, They Host Serious Festivals & Book Big Artists. They Always Forget To Give Those Local Acts The Spotlight and Paying Them What They Deserve.

The Game Is Unfair, All These Venue Owners Know How Important Local Artists Are To Their Everyday Shows But When They Host A Big Show They Forget About The Local Artists Who Have Been Performing or Playing On Regular Days. Resident DJs are mistreated, Someone Big Can Get Paid N$50K While A Resident DJ only Gets N$150, The Gap Between Payments Is Too Large.

But All Will Be Well, We Hope Such Situations Become An Eye Opener To All Local Acts, Stop Playing For Free At Events That Don't Care About Artists, Always Analyse How The Event Organiser Treat Another Fellow Artist.

They Call You At Their Lowest, They Rather Pay Big Acts & Not Even Consider You While You Only Charge N$1K or less than N$5K, But Let Us Keep Quiet, Check How They'll Be Hating Us For The Truth In This Post. 🙏❤️

Love & Light ❤️🕯 To Those In The Music Industry.

Dear Musicians

Most careers don’t fail because of talent. They fail because of mistakes that could have been avoided.

🎵 The mistake of not registering your music – you sing it, but you never own it.

🎵 The mistake of ignoring marketing – you drop songs, but nobody knows they exist.

🎵 The mistake of signing bad deals – contracts that look shiny today but rob you tomorrow.

🎵 The mistake of chasing fame instead of building fans – likes don’t pay, loyal fans do.

🎵 The mistake of waiting for opportunity instead of creating it – the internet is your stage, but you refuse to step on it.

The modern truth? Talent alone is not enough. The industry rewards the artist who is smart, consistent, and prepared.

If you want to win, avoid these traps:
✅ Register your music.
✅ Invest in your image and marketing.
✅ Read before you sign.
✅ Build fans, not followers.
✅ Release and promote consistently.

Your dream doesn’t die because you’re not good enough. It dies because you don’t protect it.

🎵 Dear Musician,

How to Earn More Money With One Song

did you know one song can create multiple streams of income?

Most artists drop a song and move on—but smart record labels know the power of maximizing one hit. Here’s how you can do it too:

Original Song Release – Your main track generates streams, downloads, and performance royalties.

Remixes – Create different versions (dance, pop, trap, etc.). Each remix is a new revenue stream.

Acoustic Version – Perfect for lounges, restaurants, or Sunday Sessions. Expands your audience and plays in places your original might not.

Covers by Other Artists – License your song to other performers. They perform it, you earn royalties.

Music Video – Monetize views on YouTube, TikTok, and social media platforms.

Lyric Video – Another video asset generating streams and engagement.

Slow Version / Alternative Versions – Slower, stripped-down versions can reach new markets and playlists.

Clap Version / Instrumental – Great for TikTok creators, dance videos, and licensing opportunities.

Sampling & Licensing – Let other artists or brands sample your song and earn licensing fees.

Bundles & Re-releases – Package all versions together for streaming or digital sales.

💡 The takeaway: One song is not just one opportunity—it’s a mini-portfolio of revenue streams. Record labels understand this, and now you can too.

✅ Stop treating one song like it’s a one-time drop. Multiply your income and your reach!

🎤 Dear Musicians

The Hidden Royalties Labels Collect

I need to tell you something that many artists don’t know — and because of that, they’re losing money every single day.

When you register with a Performance Rights Organization (like SAMRO for performance royalties or CAPASSO for mechanical royalties), you’re securing one side of your income: the songwriter/composer side. That’s the money paid when your composition (lyrics + melody) is played on radio, TV, live shows, or streaming platforms.

👉 But here’s the truth most people don’t tell you:
There’s a second side of royalties that is only paid to the record label or master rights owner.

If you don’t own a label, those royalties are either paid to:

The producer who registered the master, or

A record company that owns your sound recording.

⚠️ And that means YOU, the artist, miss out on a whole stream of money.

✅ Let me break it down simply:

Songwriting royalties = Paid to the artist/writer via PROs (like SAMRO, CAPASSO).

Master royalties = Paid to whoever owns the recording (usually a label).

If you don’t have your own record label, then every time your song plays on radio, streams on Spotify, or gets synced on TV, a second check is being cut. One check goes to you (artist share). The other? Straight to the label.

Now imagine if YOU were the label. That second check would come straight into your pocket too.

🎯 What you need to do:

Register with your PRO as a songwriter/artist (make sure your music is protected and you’re collecting your writer’s share).

Register your own record label — this gives you ownership of your masters and the ability to collect label-side royalties.

Release music under your own label so both checks (artist + label) flow to YOU.

💡 I help artists set up their own labels. It costs R1500 TO Register a business and PROS complete to get registered, and once it’s done, you’re officially the label owner.

🌍 Why this matters:

Owning your masters is what makes the difference between struggling musicians and empowered artists. Labels have been collecting both sides for decades. But the new world belongs to independents who are smart enough to be both the artist and the label.

🎬 Picture this:

Your song is on the radio.
Your streams are climbing on Spotify.
Your track is used on a TV advert.

Two checks are created:
✔️ One for the artist.
✔️ One for the label.

Now ask yourself — do you want the second check to go to somebody else, or do you want it in your bank account?

✨ Hopeful ending:
Be the artist. Be the label. Own everything. Collect everything.
Your music deserves both checks.

Let me tell you something that you may not have been told loud enough before:

The easiest way to blow up as an artist is to be UNIQUE.
Simple. Clear. No long talk.

Find your sound.
Find that ONE thing about you that makes people stop scrolling, stop talking, stop thinking about other artists—and just LISTEN to you.

But here’s where it gets serious—
If you don’t find your sound, you’ll end up copying another man’s sound.
And when you copy, you automatically suppress everything you’ve worked for because the fans you’re fighting to get will look at you and think,
“Nice song but bro you sound like Davido.”
Or
“She dey try but she just dey imitate Tems.”
Is that what you want?
Do you really want all your sweat to be seen as a knockoff version of someone who has already secured their position?
Be honest.

Because here’s the psychology—
Nobody listens to a copycat and takes them seriously.
Even if you have talent, the moment you remind them of another made artist, you’ve lost the chance to be seen as YOU.
And the industry doesn’t have space for artists who don’t stand out.

Let me give you the secret weapon to succeed:
Come into this game BRAND NEW.
That doesn’t mean you must invent a new genre. It simply means:
Bring YOUR perspective, YOUR emotions, YOUR story, YOUR vibe.
That’s how Rema is winning with his Alien music.
That’s how Burna Boy became the African Giant—he didn’t try to be Wizkid.
That’s how Asake carved his soundscape, and now the world is moving to it.

It’s not about being different for the sake of it,
It’s about being YOU so deeply that it becomes your biggest flex.
That’s what will make people fall in love with you.
That’s what will make you LAST in this industry.

So here’s your assignment:
Take time this week, sit down, and FIND your sound.
Record yourself.
Assess your vibe.
Ask yourself—do I feel this? Does it sound like ME or like someone else?
When you feel good about it, when you know you’ve found that spark,
Take the FIRST LEAP into your own greatness.

Stop being scared to experiment.
Stop hiding under the shadows of another person’s style.
Stop thinking the shortcut to success is to sound like what’s already trending.
The real shortcut is to find YOU, and then let the world come to you.

Dear Musicians,

Learn to listen to your producer when you're creating a song. A great track is born from partnership, not pride.

You might be the voice, but the producer is the sonic architect. Don't just rap or sing on the beat—build with the beat. Ask them: “What do you think?” Bring them into your vision. Let them feel like it’s their song too.

And to the producers—listen to the artist as well. Respect their creativity. Don’t just load a loop and bounce. Talk. Build. Shape something together.

Because when two minds truly collaborate, that’s when the magic happens. That’s when hits are born.

Dear Musicians,

Do you know the difference between an exclusive beat and a leased beat?
Because this might be the reason your song will never be yours alone.

🎯 An exclusive beat means: You OWN it. 100%. No one else can touch it. The moment you buy it, it's like putting your name on the title deed. It’s YOUR sound, YOUR lane, YOUR investment.

🔁 A leased beat? You’re borrowing it. And you’re not the only one. 5, 10, 100 other artists might be riding the same wave. It comes with rules. You can only stream it so many times, or use it for a limited period. It's cheaper, yes… but you share it.

🎤 So ask yourself:
Are you trying to build a brand? Or just drop a freestyle?

There’s nothing wrong with leasing—especially when you’re starting out. But if you want full control over your music, if you want to pitch to radio, sync deals, or just sleep knowing the beat is YOURS…

Then start aiming for exclusives.

✅ Know what you're paying for.
✅ Know what you’re building.
✅ Know where you're headed.

Your music is a business. Learn the terms. Or risk being played on someone else's beat.

Dear Musicians
,
Learn to copy, yes, I said it, copy. What are they doing in Terms of Marketing Strategies

Marketing Strategies, you can copy what I like about this, they can't hide it - why are you learning

🔊 Look at Tellaman — he's not just dropping songs, he’s dropping vocal tutorials. Teaching people how he masters his voice. That content builds trust… and curiosity. Eventually, people check out the music. Smart move.

🎮 Look at Cassper Nyovest — he’s all over Twitch, gaming with fans and dropping hints about new music while building real connections. That’s digital hustle.

🎹 Look at TSTC — you’ll find him in videos explaining how he made a beat. That’s storytelling. That’s value.

📢 The truth? Good marketing isn’t manipulation. It’s connection. It’s showing your process, your journey, your personality.

I always say: create content that lives. Content that carries a story. That’s how people remember you. That’s how fans are born.

Cope the strategy. Not the style.
Cope the mindset. Not the melody.

Your talent will take you far — but your strategy will take you all the way.

Dear Upcoming Artists,

Beef is not necessary when you're still coming up.

When you’re building your brand, the last thing you should be doing is creating enemies — especially enemies in your own mind.

Too many new artists waste time saying,
“I don’t get along with so-and-so…”
“This one is overrated…”
“That one is not even that good…”

But let’s be honest — sometimes we hate people because they’re doing better than us.
Other times, we secretly admire them, but pride won’t let us admit we want to be like them or even work with them.

Here’s the truth:

🤝 You don’t need beef. You need connection.
👑 You don’t need ego. You need growth.
💼 You don’t need drama. You need strategy.

Start being kind. Stay humble. Be open. Build with others.
Especially in your own town, don’t fight with artists who are also still trying to make it. That fight isn’t helping either of you.

Because when you network, collaborate, and form alliances — that’s how you fast-track your success.

📈 Focus on your hustle.
📢 Grow your brand.
🌍 Make friends, not enemies.
Because at the end of the day, your biggest blessing might come through someone you once called competition.
