Reekado Banks is definitely one of the
brightest young and trending musicians
in the country today and he continues to
maintain his impressiveness following
his win of the next rated category at the
last Headies.
The Mavin records artist in a new
interview has hailed several Nigerian pop
stars for their achievement of delving
into the International music scene.
When asked by NAN on how Nigerian
singers are doing on the International
scene, he said:
“They have made so much impact.
Wizkid ’s song is number one in the
world, which just gives every other
person hope.
It is amazing how fast the Nigerian
music industry has evolved in the past
two years.
Everybody has been pulling one string
or the other and you can only tell how
soon we will get to that point we
actually want.
Featuring a Nigerian artiste would now
be a major thing.
So I’m really grateful to everybody that
has worked towards opening these
doors – people like Fela, Sunny Ade,
2face, Dbanj, Don Jazzy, Davido and
Wizkid .
They’ve been doing amazingly well and
may God keep granting them success as
they keep opening doors.
It seemed impossible and right now it
just feels like one of those things.
Davido featured Meek Mill; Wizkid’s
new song features Chris Brown; Tiwa
Savage is signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.
There’s so much big stuff coming up
and it feels good to be a part of an
industry that is really growing so fast
right now.’’
Further speaking, he dished out advice
for upcoming acts as well, he said:
“The most important thing is reading
and understanding the contract.
Get a good lawyer, read yourself and
understand.
If you see that they want to sign you
for 10 years and you realise that in 3
years you would be tired, why sign for
10 years?
There’s no need to be desperate; there’s
no need to be super hungry for what
you’re not ready for.
So, they should be able to read the
terms of their contracts well and try as
much as
possible to convince the record label to
agree to their terms too.
That’s the best way because most of the
time, artistes sign contracts in
desperation and it ends up messing
them up in the long run.’’
