Celebrity news: K.O has some important advice for all the up-and-coming artists who believe that having good music alone is sufficient.
Renowned South African rapper, K.O, with over a decade in the music industry, openly shares advice on succeeding, especially in the Amapiano genre. The Amapiano wave has introduced many new artists, but some lack the essential knowledge to thrive in the industry.
When a young artist asked K.O for advice, the famous rapper shared his thoughts on how to make it big. He said, “If you can’t make it on your own, consider signing with a reputable record label or getting a good management deal to help with marketing.
It’s not just about having good music; you need to build your brand. Are you someone people want to support? Do you have that star quality? Start there,” he advised.
Amapiano sensation Lady Du also shared valuable insights with her followers, discussing topics like recording music, royalties, and the importance of smart individuals in the entertainment industry.
Lady Du, the artist behind the hit song “Umsebenzi Wethu,” shared some valuable advice to help fellow artists avoid the same pitfalls she encountered in her career.
She emphasized the importance of educating oneself about music streams and the music industry, cautioning that what you see on the internet isn’t always the reality.
Lady Du urged aspiring artists not to give up on serious careers thinking they could make it work without a smart approach. She also discouraged the pursuit of fame for its own sake.
Lady Du explained that she now records music at her home studio because she learned that whoever records the music or pays for the studio sessions automatically owns the master of the songs.
She advised artists to do things correctly by signing contracts before recording. She recommended not seeking a manager right away but rather training someone you know and then finding promoters to collaborate with. She stressed the importance of learning to handle many aspects of your career independently.
Lastly, Lady Du advised artists to create contracts before recording so they know how the song’s royalties will be split. Having a lawyer involved is even better. She also encouraged artists to understand various types of royalties and to always know why they’re recording a song and what benefits they’ll gain from it.
