Hello everyone!
an inspirational quote i found intriguing!
This is going to be a short one, because right now its 05:41am in the morning and im about set to take another trip, this time back to the ancestral town of the yoruba race, Ile-ife. Its a town i have been to several times over and I cant wait to laison with steemians there once again.
Over the past 4 days, since on Monday 15 Jan 2018, i have been engaged in a series of journeys, from my home in delta state nigeria, all the way to Lagos state, a journey of no less than 6hours due to different circumstances.
Delta state!
In delta, we made plans for an otefe meetup, which is scheduled to hold early next month as a prelude to the steemit campus ivasion program that we will be holding.
with @jackdogho and @penauthor, please check out their blogs, great people working towards a new world with steem!
It was a wonderful time and as more updates come out, we hope to really move the steemit community and the plans that @africaunchained, in combination with @leadent360 @stach @steemit-virus @debrecords has for steemit, cryptos and africa.
africaunchained is a movement, a company , a new dawn that has been on the steemit platform since september 2017. It is geared towards self reliance of we africans, away from the shackles of the governments. We achieve this by lecturing, helping out, parternering with different blockchain organisations.
Rather than living from hand to mouth through steemit, make it a platform for your business, your self, your company, build your life on the blockchain and let the blockchain work for you
changing the economic background of the continent as we move from centralized governments holding power, to distributed decentralized power spread across communities, headed by guides, rather than presidents or kings
Lagos State!
Make no mistake, evwryone there is a professional in the music game. So far so good, i have been able to pull in @suddensmoke1 (behind) and @wolf-lykan (on black) into steemit. Both are professionals in the music business and also partners of mine.
Together, along with the @debrecords label/company on steemit, we have been making plans to open several outfits on the steemitblockchain. We all are also under a mangement outfit called alphafoxpack of which we have monthly meetings.
Steemit is going to get a lot more excitng once we have our full crew here.
Services that you all should watch out for in the coming weeks are;
- a fully authentic music artist mangement outfit.
- a announcement on a nigeriawide, and eventually global music takeover via the debrecords label
- open auditioning for artists, competitions and free music giveaway
- a possible collaboration with open mic, @thisisbenbrick @fivestargroup on a worldwide music take over
- the first african professional steemit music studio (@suddensmoke1 has a home studio already, so do I as well)
- national collaborations with people like @francistagbo @marshalllife and possible international collborstion with longtime friend @soundlegion and others.
- free equipment giveaways (equipments are very expensive!) To prospective producers who are on the steemit platform.
Plans underway!
shot from my phone
Plans are already underway, that is @suddensmoke1
We are already scouting houses all around Ajah in lagos state nigeria, as that is the musical soul of the country, we arr also looking at opening studio branches all over the country, starting with at least 3 by year ending in several locations. These studios will be manned by repesentatives of @debrecords, those we sign, as well as representatives of @africaunchained and @leadent360.
We need support to make this project a reality, though we have gone far indeed. A project plan will be sent to all who are interested in sponsoring this project, as we believe this will help steemit a lot.
One of africa's major export is entertsinment, music-video, audio-visual fanciness and the world over, many tune to and and resonate with songs, videos etc.
We intend to promote steemit through this, as well as push out the beauties of africa, and change how the continent is represented on a global scale.
In the grand scale of things, we have between us;
1 pair of rokit 8 studio monitors
1 pair of m audio bx8 studio monitors (@destinysaid)
1 pair of behringer 5" cone monitors
1 pair of m-audio AV32 3.5" cone studio monitors (@destinysaid)
1 focusrite 2i4 audio interface
1 focusrite 2i2 audio interface (@destinysaid)
Another focusrite 2i2 audio interface
1 akg p120 microphone (@destinysaid)
1 behringer B1 microphone (@destinysaid)
1 rode NT2A microphone
1 m audio oxygen 49 midikeyboard (4th generstion)(@destinysaid)
1 maudio keyststion 49 midi keyboard
1 yamaha psr 4?? Electronic keyboard(with midi option)(@destinysaid)
1 21.5" imac
1 flstudio 12.5 DAW
1 ableton live 9.7 DAW (@destinysaid)
1 avid protools DAW (@destinysaid)
Cables, tons of plugins, and more, all acquired over the years int the business.
Should we sell everything from just 1 person, we would be heading of to a value near 1 million naira, or just over $3500.
Up next is setting up in a new location. That would entail moving out, for me from delta. After a nee location, we are looking at fiting our artists in major events in nigeria.
Our artist will become a representative of steemit in the country through music, as producers and engineers, we will become reps of steemit in our field.
Collaborations and songs will be encouraged through steemit. Artists who come in are rewarded with an SMT token we will be launching later in the year.
Collaborations, and song release will be done through @dtube,@sound and @dlive.
Possible weekly jams will ne done through the @dlive platforms.
brief project plan
From january 2018 to august 2018 ( when i will be releasing my EP) we are focusing on building our HQ, signing artists, pushing our artists to shows, events etc , making sure we all rep steemit and then expanding.
As a member of the SIN crew, seamless integration will occur with the steemit campus invasion, the steemit roadshow events and the SIN2 program.
Special treatment and more preferences will be placed on our artists to perform in those events.
I also believe that it exposes them to the international scene as well.
The world is changing, and we can use entertainment to do wonders, and assist in this change.

I am a newbie i will be posting soon i will really appreciate if you visit my blog soon.
This is another mind blowing project. You are really puting in all your best to keep this community growing and preaching the gospel of steeemit
The music business rocks, pun was intended :)
I always know it costs a lot of money to get things moving. The equipments doesn't come cheap too. People only see the blitz and glamour but never the money spent to get the business running. Kudos.
it really does cause much to get into the music world if not everyone would have become a star, meanwhile you can check on my blog for some list of songs i have released for the steemit community.
Am always impressed that we Nigerians are making moves to spread to the world about steemit and its community, keep on doing the good work.
God will surely reward you (amen)
