My most toxic music business trait has to be the fact dat even after I have seen shege, told myself dat I’d take a break 4rm artists, I still have some on my radar that I’ve daydreamed what strategies can be applied to boost their careers. Crazy.

Artists are always very humble on the come up. music execs on my timeline no reason that humility oooo dem go chop your eye. Make sure you protect yourself, sign a contract even if it’s your younger brother….

You songwriters that ask for a % in the masters of the music you contribute to, who’s advising you? What’s the idea behind that?.

Talent managers; prioritize creating other streams of income for yourself other than “management” in 2024. Invest in developing new skills, apply these skills. Just as much as you’re passionate about your clients, you better be more passionate about your development & growth.

Dear talent managers, don’t spend your money on any talent and if you do make sure the talent is aware you’re spending money that should be refunded back…. Unless you’re onyeoma C.Y then this tweet is not for you.

Managers on my timeline this is for you. dump that artist that’s not serious it’s also a drag on your productivity. Focus on building your own brand and making money 😁.

Got up today reflecting on my journey so far in this music business. I’ve built an artist’s brand/career from: IG-3k-22k+ & verification, built a fanbase, got a licensing deal with a major label(business dev), still worked with other companies within the sector- distro, label….

So some of you execs have started doing those things you said OG’s did to oppress. why would you send a producer contract without adding splits and then you’d now say because the prod. is not signed for publishing no need to have that conversation.

Surround yourself with smart people, make sure your team has that! Forward thinking, smart, loyal (this goes 2 ways) and hustling people. Watch your brand go from 10-100 in good time. .

Creatives you should get an entertainment lawyer and make sure to also protect yourself because there are still execs that will want to chop your eye. An entertainment lawyer that knows what their doing.

I noticed everyone always has an opinion as to how you should promote your music after you have just released music. My advice? Create a marketing plan in phases, set realistic targets/metrics and importantly work with a budget…….

I like to play on artist’s strength. Are you a fashion guy? Are you comfortable cutting your hair? Are you comfortable exposing your body? After I gather info that I need I go ahead to amplify and build a narrative and it’s easy to keep up with because it’s already a way of life.
When branding an artiste, what key factors do you use? How do you go about it? @ohrma05.

Execs who represent producers please educate us; how can we be making money from representing producers asides from the usual production fee?.

Once money enters the conversation, creatives selective amnesia kicks in. All of a sudden they worked hard to get where they are, they’re team is dispensable.

My mom is very hilarious 🤣.I was having a conversation with her. Me: I just signed a new artist, his name is Major AJ & he’s signed to chocolate city. Mum: ahh that means it’s going to be yummy yummy! Don’t laugh claim it .🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I think it’s a very bad idea if you’re an artist in a relationship with another artist and you’d both share the same management team.

Talent managers that know when to level up are the people we call OG’s now. when to switch career profile, how to expand your clientele, how to drive growth (streaming, socials, etc) for clients, the list goes on! You should think along the lines of these for Foresight. .
