Conclusion

People often forget the power of music to grab the attention of people who do not pay much attention to it, but people will listen if one makes good music. Some of the greatest artists on earth do not even have massive record sales and still sold-out concerts.

It is a fact that people hardly like what they hear. Therefore, your music has to be very good and impactful to many people to become popular.

People want to listen to your music and connect with the artist behind the music. The content has to be thought-provoking.

Sometimes the best way to break your silence is to let your music break your silence. The best way to make a song popular in Nigeria is to make sure popular Nigerian artists remix it.

In this way, you build your profile and connect with the right audience. Nigerian artists would never be able to engage people in meaningful conversation over their content if the music is not relatable to the Nigerian listener.

For example, I used to remix a song that my friend and artist, Simi, did for me. In that remix, I used a popular high-life genre in Nigeria, which is very comfortable for Nigerians.

To this day, that song, 'Seomo' remix, still gets played in clubs. Many international artists can make wonderful songs, but people will no longer want to sleep when a Nigerian artist remixes them because they are in their own language and are easy to relate to.

We just had an artiste called Sarkodie, who decided to put in the entire Yoruba language in one of his remixes. This way, the artist has developed a huge fan base and can carry on the tradition of promoting Nigerian music abroad.
