YOU SEF FIT BLOW SERIES - 1

The digital age is quite simply the best time for music and muscians. Ever. We can't get enough of new music, there's never been more of it available and artistes are retaking control of themselves.

In the last edition of #youseffitblow series, we talked about a DIY approach to a sustainable career in music. The independent route is a tough, long grind, no doubt about it. But, it is very possible. Chance tha rapper, Gucci Mane, Rich Homie Quan, Kodak blak, Macklemore, Fetty Wap, Young thug, are all testimonies. You just have to be self-starting, entreprenuerial and creative (as hell) to stand out. You just need the gritty fortitude to keep going no matter how hard it gets.

Even if you aimed to be scouted by big name record labels, you just need take the DIY route first. Before J Cole got signed to ROC Nation, Man has invested alot on himself. You need invest on yourself and your career thereby convincing an A&R that you are worth investing on. #youseffitblow series will be giving you tricks and advice you need to get started and help you from your passion into a viable, sustainable living.

There is a saying "Hardwork beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." You're not going to be successful at any thing in this world without hard work and dedication. It's all about hardwork, folks. I've followed the growth of Odogwu X-libaty and am so happy he's where he his today. He's put in long hours working on his craft.


Put in long hours working on your craft. It is not just about the music in this case; you also have to put in hours to distributing and promoting the music, fine-tuning your live performances, engaging with your fans online and offline, and constantly educating yourself on the business side of music.
