It’s quiet obvious that some Nigerian artistes actually blow without belonging to any record label, which is very amazing. In most cases, it’s usually dicey for an upcoming artiste to make it without being any under record label, first of all, getting the attention is usually zero from top producers, and then people tend not to give you much attention at the same time. But with time and being consistent will get your work recognized, even beyond one’s.
Hence, let’s talk about some key musicians that struggled their way and made it without being signed under any record label in the industry.
