👤Fireboy lauched his music career officially in 2012 in his second year in OAU. He's been writing songs for people, and posting freestyles on social media. He was discovered in 2018 (6 years of being underground)
The list is endless.
Here are the common facts about all the artists listed above:

Rome wasn't built overnight, they say. As an upcoming artist, it may take you a couple years before you achieve your goal. You have to wait until it's ur time. And while waiting, keep working on your craft, and get a job to promote urself. Everything about music is money. U need money to pay for studio sessions and to promote your songs to the right ears. But when you blow you'd forget all the struggles in months.
Good luck! 🤞
