Partner With Brands, Music Money Is Not Enough, D’Banj Advises Musicians
TRACKING________Nigerian singer, Dapo Oyebanjo, who is popularly known as D’banj, has urged rising stars in the music industry to partner with a brand that can offer them a platform to sponsor the next Nigeria Idol or Big Brother instead of taking peanuts paying jobs.
The musician disclosed this in an interview with Premium Times, stating that music money doesn’t pay enough to sustain Nigerian artists.
He said, ’It’s my sixth year in marriage, and ever since then, I’ve looked for different platforms that would keep my fame and family intact. So if you were to Google Jay Z or the wealthiest musicians in the world, you would see that only 10 percent of their wealth is probably from music.
