Life for Some Artists and Reekado Banks after Exiting Their Record Label Some artists believe that exiting their record label means automatic growth, it would help them become better with their music career. In most cases, it is not usually that easy. These artists find themselves turning right, then left, the walls were farther apart out here and oddly shaped they have discovered. That is why it would be thoughtful for artists to set objectives and planning before leaving their records label. If they don’t, they would end up looking like lost puppies. The artists should make sure that after leaving their records label, they have access to resources that would help boost their development and recognition.
They must get work done, be focused on their performance, promotion and rewards. They need the competencies required to get work done.
Ways to do these include:
- Make sure you have access to good producers. At least, that would make the transition smooth.
- List of learning and development activities that will be undertaken to achieve each objective.
- Identification of resources and support needed to implement the plan successfully.
- Identification of barriers and difficulties that might be encountered and ideas on how to overcome them.
Artist like D'banj since his departure from Mavin records/Mo Hits, he has been making/releasing songs but people barely hear about those songs. His career seems to be in the mud now, and he is trying really hard to stay relevant. Tiwa Savage was smart enough to plan her way all through the end before exiting from the record label. She is out here staying relevant and releasing good songs with both local and international artists.
As for Wande Coal, even after his rough departure from Mavin, he is still out there doing well for himself , simply because he made good decisions that align with his career success. Reekado Banks has been releasing cool music and trying to stay relevant. Since his departure, he has released too many songs like Need More , Omo Obomo, Mama , amongst others.
Taking the scary bold decision to leave Mavin Records in pursuit of bigger opportunities is something he doesn’t find easy, but has to do for his growth. Everyone has to expand and move in different directions. It is fantastic and amazing seeing him do what he really wants to do.
The good news is this.......We believe Reekado Banks songs will be part of Nigeria afrobeat scene for a very long time
