Pure Fire! Check Out Finest Nigerian New School Songwriters At The Moment

Nigeria has so many great songwriters making some waves at the moment. These are some of those songwriters.

 

Making music involves a lot of parties and sometimes all we know about making music rises and falls on the artiste who finally lays his/her vocals on a beat. Unfortunately, the songwriter does not readily come to mind, in fact he/she is the last entity you think of in the chain of making music.

One of the most underrated process of making a song, is the art of songwriting. Songwriting is both a talent and an art form in itself. An artiste might have an exceptional vocal and singing ability but overall sucks at writing their own songs. Some of the best musicians out there did not write their best songs. For some artistes, they are both blessed with graceful songwriting skills and good vocals to back it up.
