Nigeria is fast becoming one of the biggest music exporters in the world and without doubt, the biggest in Africa as a whole. As at 2019, it was reported that the entertainment and recreation industry contributes up to 2.3% of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which amounts to over NGN339biliion. Owing to this figure, kudos should go to Nigeria’s celebrities most especially the Musicians and record label houses for their relentless efforts so far.
This 2020 is surely going to be a rise in the above GDP figure because there are so many raw talented young Nigerians especially in the music industry still waiting to sign a major record deal. Just like in the US, breaking into the music industry in Nigeria is a tough one. Too many upcoming artistes trying to dethrone the already established ones. At the moment, no one is a permanent king because of the fierce competition. Already established artistes keep putting out contents just to remain relevant in the industry. Just one foot off the pedal, you might never be able to break in again. Ice Prince and the chocolate city artistes can attest to this.
Getting signed to a known record label in Nigeria is quite difficult. The question is how do you get to these big boys even when you have the talent? Sometimes, it isn’t about whom or how to get to these guys but to what contact address do you address your letter, which is why the need for the contact addresses of reputable record owners and companies cannot be overemphasized. Thanks to the powerful presence of social media but this still does not take the fact that traditional means of communication has become history. in fact it is well known that any serious letter goes through hard copy. Please note that the addresses of these record companies are strictly for official purposes. In as much as they are available on their websites, it still does not take out the fact that decorum must be observed at all times.
Trying to physically visit their offices will be met with stiff resistance since there is no prior appointment with any of the record owners. The ideal way is to send an official letter explaining who you are and what you do and if you have a copy of your content, you could also insert it inside the letter bag and make sure your contact details which must include phone number, house address and social media handles for ease of contacting you should they find your music worth listening to.
Now you can go through the list of top music record labels in Nigeria and their contact addresses which would be beneficial for either personal or official use.
