1. Nigeria is a religious society
The number one reason why you should be a gospel artist is because
Nigeria is very religious society and will always buy into religion as
long as it is well packaged and delivered. If you look around you, you
will see that nothing sells better than church and as a gospel artist
that is your advantage, the only problem you may have is how to harness
this leverage (church) to your advantage. As a secular artist you don’t
have such a sphere to rise; you have to work hard to sell yourself to a
wider ideology before you can start making money thus; you need to pay a
lot for promotion, publicity and compromise. As a gospel artist you
really don’t need that because you already have an ideology to sell and
you know where to sell it.
2. You could be small (local) and still be making money
The second reason why you should be a gospel artist is this; you
don’t have to be BIG to start making money, as a gospel artist you could
be small or even unknown to the world but still be making money. As a
secular artist you have to be well known to get paid shows and events
but that is not the case with a gospel artiste. If you have a great
relationship with the church community you get invitation to church
locally and even if you don’t get paid, you could still bring your CDs
and sell them above the market price. I know a lot of gospel artist
whose songs have never been played on radio yet, earn a lot of money
than many secular musicians you see on TV
3. You will always have where to sell your music
The third advantage you have as a gospel artist over a secular
artist is an available market to sell your music. First if you decide to
launch your album in the church people in your church will come and
support you for the same reason. Your parent will invite their friends
and the pastor will encourage the people to come out and support you.
You don’t have to pay for venue or equipment because they are all
available in your church. The secular musician hardly ever gets such
help or favors
Secondly the secular musician depends on ‘alaba’ to distribute his
music and that also depends on other several factor such as your level
of fame etc but, as a gospel artist you don’t have to wait for ‘alaba’
or any major marketer to distribute your work. The church is always
there around the corner of your house; you can walk in and drop your
music on the information decks, you can ask to see the pastor to invite
you on Sunday to showcase your work before the congregation etc. this is
another great reason why you should be a gospel artist, you already
have the market; its left for you to become creative and find ways to
explore the market (church) to your own profit.
4. Available shows and event are all year round
Another great reason why you should consider being a gospel artist
is the availability of shows and events to perform all year round. This
is a great stream of income if you are well known in the gospel world or
if you have your way around churches. Nothing stops the church from
having events all year round. Churches have events every weekdays or
weekends, summer or winter, January to December, which means business
for you (gospel artist) week in, week out. This is not the case for a
secular artiste, you only get shows during the weekends and most times
only during the dry season thus; I am talking about already established
known artiste. what about you who is upcoming? Who will invite you to a
show let alone pay you to perform? Could you even sell your CDs at such
venues? Even if you could! at what price?
5. You spend less on lifestyle
As a gospel artist this is one advantage you have over secular
artiste, you don’t have to keep up with the Jones, the pressure of
fashion and ‘the lifestyle’. As a gospel artist you have the advantage
of channeling your resources into worthwhile ventures unlike the secular
artiste who spend huge some of their income on designer clothes, shoes
and expensive drinks in clubs.
6. Profit for the greater good
The final reason why you should be a gospel artiste is for the
eternal reward you will receive from God for doing his work, touching
and changing the life of men. What could be the more rewarding than
this, for the master to say to you, well done good and faithful servant
as the parable told by Jesus in Luke 19
