It was what I wanted right from my school days, at the Lagos state university (LASU). I decided to retire when I clocked 35 years old and that was exactly what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What inspired the idea of the \u201cEntertainment law workshop\u201d brand and when did you start your initiative?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I love music and organizing events. I was a club boy back in school and I organized a few club parties and after my graduation, during NYSC, I organized the first all-night party in Sokoto. it was a welcome party in Sokoto and it was a welcome party for the next batch of corps members which was also a listening party for my artist friend(Lishaa). Also, for the education aspect of my events, I want a better music Industry where all upcoming and emerging artists will understand the nitty-gritty of the industry. I hate when to see how nonchalant and uninformed some artists can be. This is what prompted the monthly events run by me. I have been in this industry for around a decade, I have done a few things like being an artist manager, blogger, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What motivates you and what are the principles that guide your business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.format.com\/magazine\/resources\/art\/stay-motivated\">My greatest motivation is seeing emerging artists win<\/a>. Not everyone will be like Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, or Yemi Alade but it is satisfying when I know that your music can put food on your table and pay your bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/refinedng.com\/interview-with-the-ceo-of-the-travel-guide\/\">Interview with the CEO of The travel guide<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00a0In your industry, what makes you unique?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consistency and collaboration are what make me Unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What has been your greatest entrepreneurial success?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My greatest entrepreneurial success is when my team and I organized the #Airtel1mic and we produced Zlatan Ibile. Also, when some artists came for the monthly music business discussions I organize and reached out to share some good news about their achievements after putting what they learned to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is your favorite aspect of being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking decisions all by myself no matter how hard or impossible it may seem. It makes me happy not to have anyone tell me to submit a proposal for the board of directors to review before I\u2019m able to carry out a project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the most challenging of being an entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finance. This is because most of my projects are self-funded. The terrible and inconsistent government policies also makes the ease of doing business difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tell us about your products\/services?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a few programs I run and they include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Private chat session with Oyinda: It is a monthly music\/ business discussion to raise an army of informed practitioners. <\/li><li>Music Business beyond borders: Music business beyond borders is a quarterly music and business discussion with guests from around the world. <\/li><li>My own weekend playlist gig: My own weekend playlist gig is a monthly mini music concert that brings fans and artists together in what is called #fanscrosspollination.<\/li><li>Monthly Listening Party: This program helps emerging artists put their music out to reach a wider audience <\/li><li>I am also an Author, I have two published books: Guide for a successful Emerging Artist and Music marketing plan. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I am currently working on a third book: Social Media Management.
