I’ve had people tell me my brand of music won’t do well in Nigeria. - Aramide

Afro-soul artiste and guitarist, Aramide  took to her Instagram page to encourage upcoming artistes doing her kind of music not to give up.


She said,
All through my career, I’ve had people tell me my brand of music won’t do well in Nigeria. ‘Tweak your sound,’ ‘Make it danceable,’ they said.
But I’m glad I’ve stuck to doing what I know how to do. I am glad about the acceptance of all my singles, everything I have put out has been widely accepted even when we thought Nigerians wont accept it.
Right now, Alternative music is the new cool and I am glad to be one of the very few  who hold the key to the new era of Nigerian music and I am glad that we are finally being recognized.
#dearNaijaalternativeartiste your music will be heard. Don’t follow the crowd, BE DIFFERENT.”
