Nigerian musician Spyro has given upcoming artists hoping to make it big in the music business a lot of insight and direction.
The singer shared a heartfelt message on his Instagram page to budding musicians, warning them against the false belief that signing with a well-known record label will inevitably lead to success.
Looking back on his own path, Spyro talked about his earlier setbacks with record labels and emphasised how crucial it was to forge an independent career in order to achieve his present level of success.
Spyro talked about the difficulties he had when running his former record company and how he ended up getting loans from banks and other sources to finance his endeavours.
Though he acknowledged that divine intervention had played a part in his metamorphosis, he credited years of unwavering work and calculated planning for his successes.
In a poignant letter, Spyro counselled up-and-coming musicians to understand that success does not always depend on the label or person supporting them, stressing the importance of individual motivation and perseverance in achieving objectives.
Spyro urged prospective talents to put self-investment and hard work first rather than depending only on outside validation or support, stressing the value of strong work ethics and tenacity.
He wrote in parts:
“Dear Upcoming artiste, I write this to you from the depth of my heart… I wish you would know that the Label or who is signing you has nothing to do with your success.. So if you like be signed by the biggest label/ artiste in the world,it’s still no guarantee for success o Labels/Big names will only aid what you already “CARRY”
“So if you already carry a failure mentality that everything must be done for you/handed to you just because you got the talent, well they will help amplify you to be a massive failure and vice versa. just so you know too,your talent without diligence and hard work will FAIL YOU Infact these days a talentless person with Focus,deligence & hardwork gets the Stop building castles in the air waiting for labels/people and start investing in YOU”
