MUSIC THE SOCIETY AND UPCOMMING ARTISTES (Dedicated to every upcomming singer on the street)


Music as understood is a clear language of the soul; it is a part of life that should not be compromised at any cost. Some may tag music an overall unit of life while others say it’s a best friend in times of distress.
Recently I have happened to have stayed close to most of the artiste’s that make this art music (musicians). Close enough to know what breaks them and what makes them, close enough to know their inspiration and their distress, both the famous and the one’s we tag upcoming. I have observed that there is no much difference in the people.
Most of this upcoming singers have great songs sometimes even better than anything we have celebrated so far, but it can be shocking  how the ears of the people chun out without interest to good songs from this upcoming singers.
I have seen a lot of good talents who have given up the fight to grow to limelight because of the tough challenges the society and streets presents them. They pay bulk sums of money to radio stations  ,Dj’s ,bloggers, and lot other promotion units just to get to a certain level. Some will even pay event planners just to feature in shows. Sometimes in this shows you see people dancing with joy for a new and good song performed by some of these artiste’s and yet not bother to ask for a copy of the song they danced to, or the name of the new artiste, or any kind of support at all. Instead some of us go as far as picking a fault from any of the songs and strongly criticizing the good job and also killing the good spirit of other people who would have encouraged and supported the talent. (If you pick time to fish out faults from every song then no song will come out not faulted)
P.s I understand some singers are not just good enough and sometimes  produce wack jobs and I have not said you shouldn’t spell out ills to jobs who are not good enough.
If there is something this good upcoming singers need it is our support in any kind of way at all, Download their songs when they drop it online, share them with your friends, comment on the songs, commend them spelling out what you like most and what you feel they should improve on, you can even follow up there social media units and get closer to the one’s you feel like knowing more, they need this little cheers from time and time to feel alive and also keep their lyrical strength and music passion going.
Stop calling them local artiste’s just because they haven’t made it as the man of the year. Stop trying to compare their works with the already famous musicians; the famous musicians work with the very best musical facilities so will always produce awesome works.

To the upcoming artiste’s please never take your talents for granted,
 Pursue it if you are sure you have it. 
Ask God for his guidance, open doors, and sufficient grace, Make friends with people who can show you a way, 
Stay active in everything that concerns what you do, bring in unique concepts that will make you be different and quit trying to sound like the celebrities we already know.
Turn your heads from men who despise you , treat you like cattle, call you rats , tell you what to think or feel, the 17th chapter of Luke say’s “the kingdom of God is amongst men” Not one man not a group of men but in all men. Individually each man has the power to win the world, power to inspire minds, power to rule, 
Quit listening to that voice that says CANT and   find the voice who says WHAT IF, the difference with you and a made star is level he has gotten to and not the steps he took to get there cos you can better steps and even climb higher than any of the stars.
The rich earth is full of abilities waiting for to fulfill you with.
Always believe in God for what he can do for you, Eyes have not seen even ears have not heard.
May God bless you all
