5 TOP REASONS WHY MUSIC MUST BE ENCOURAGED
The world has been experiencing a lot of hurdles and challenges that can
adversely affect and distract a person. Music in all of these has stood out to be a
solution - physically, spiritually, economically, socially and otherwise.
As a promoter of good music, I believe that all hands should be on desk in
promoting quality music as a tool for sustainable economic, social and even
political development.
Below are the 5 Top reasons why music should be globally encouraged by all:
1. MUSIC IS A TOOL THAT CAN ENGAGE THE YOUTH POSITIVELY.
Our society and the world at large is at war due to high unemployment rate and
poverty and the young people seems to be at the receiving end. The youth in their
desire to eke out a living get so dirty with so many social vices and crimes.
Presently, the success stories some top music stars have recorded have direct
influence on the youth making many of them to become interested and fall in
love with music. As a matter of fact, many youth have now turned to music as an
option to make ends meet instead of involving themselves in illegal engagements.
I think more should be done by the stakeholders and all appropriate authorities to
further give youth a future in the industry. By so doing criminality and all forms of
social vices would drastically reduce.
2. MUSIC IS ONE OF THE FASTEST WAYS TO BECOMING A SUPER STAR.
Celebrity kind of life does have a direct bearing in the wants of most young people
particularly. The truth is that every human being wants to become a celebrity or
recognized in one way or the other. Statistics has it that before a person raises up
to the point of being a celebrity in other professions, It takes quite a long time
and so much effort are involved but same is not true in the music industry as just
a single best-selling track in an album can make the musician a celebrity almost
immediately. This discovery is one point that lures youth into the business, and it
is a positive one for us here.
3. STEADY SOURCE OF INCOME GENERATION.
Consistent inflow of cash is achievable in the industry especially, for top music
stars that have their work/album spread all over the places including on social
media.
4. AVAILABILITY OF SHOW BUSINESS
Aside the direct music production, there are other side businesses and attractions
in the music industry that pay bills like full entertainment, exhibitions, shows,
presentations and awards ceremonies.
5. JOB CREATION AND EMPOWERNMENT.
The industry absorbs several players for the numerous divisions in the production
line of any music album. A typical music star has the capacity of employing
hundreds of workers for just an album making the profession as one of the
highest independent employers of labour.
For instance, while producing a music album, the services of the following persons
are highly required - the musician, script/song writer, script/song editor, co
singers, music directors, camera men/women, sound men, continuity people,
dancers, instrumentalists, drivers, logistic crew, vision crew, audio etc.
Hence; if the music industry is taken seriously, i am very optimistic that Nigeria as
a nation would not be where it is today.
