Let’s chill out and take our minds on a stroll for a moment to imagine the basis of comparison between a neurosurgeon and a music professional or rock star? What? Brain racking.

The basis of comparing both professionals was their creativity and business ethic. This made me understand how the author’s explanation on his love for music, practicing music law and how landing his first showbiz gig in general shaped his life. Leggo! Both professionals have to perfect their craft brilliantly, generate huge sums of money without the need for any financial skills and be schooled up in how the business works. It is easier...

Dear Music Lover, The acronym KWTMIIL represents - " K now W hat T he M usic  I ndustry I s L ike". Have you ever wondered what goes on at the back end of a “blown” star or artiste? That is, the effort, work, branding, processes, structures and deals before the music we hear. My dear, a whole lot of planning and networking takes place at the back end. Thanks to the effective A&R’s, managers, tour managers, band, financiers, publicists, fans, industry top-guns and a whole list / team of required services.

Hi Guys, A few years back I set a list of things to accomplish but as I grew older things really don't go how I plan it to. but in all I am really grateful for life, the places I have been, the friends I have made or lost, the academic and professional heights, the references I have gotten as setbacks, the breakups and the gift of life. thankful for growth, some things really get to me while surprisingly some don't. lol. the rants. the maturity. the fear. the hustle. the leadership. the learning. etc. better days ahead, most definitely!! my song of the moment -- eleko by Mayorkun (DMW)
