Nigeria’s music star and entrepreneur, Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo

D’banj,
who was one of the panellists who discussed the topic, ‘Changing The Game:
Artistes As Leaders’ at the 2018 Social Media Week in Lagos, said most label
owners are operating blindly as they know nothing about music.
The
ex-member of the defunct Mo’hits music crew further said that owners of record
label do not know anything about music.

must understand first, why you are coming into music.

artistes need a lot of capacity building. It is only in Nigeria that the owner
of a record label doesn’t know anything about music.”
