it is believed indoor for a country to succeed in has to invest on it youth, but how come as the youth we cannot go banks and borrow money so that we can start own music labels or even study music or is it the fact that music is still taken as a hobby and not a serious business.
The national youth development agency (nyda) is a governmental agency that seeks to empower and develop the youth by funding them in their business ideas and also running mentorship programmes.
And this year The nyda has partnered with dj united (dju) and the sabc radio on the 7th annual southern African music awards, take part initiative to empower the many young people who have talent and passion for music by offering them business skills within the music industry in the following field
Ø Producers
Ø Songwriters
Ø Djs
Ø And recording label ownership
Thanks to organisations like the nyda that understands that it is possible to make passion and talent into a business, just like me always wanted to become a musician but pity I did not have the talent of sing and rapping but because of the passion I have for music and public relations I was able to fuse the both and make a career out of it as a music publicist
It is good that there are prople out there who recognise the potential that music has, but my concern is whether young people can make money out of it seeing that it has not being doing great in the South African market over the years, hence people do not want to put money in it.
ReplyDeletepoint taken now we have music management schools that make sure that music is taken as a profitable busines not just a hobbie
Deletei feel thatS outh Africans don't support our musicians thats why you find that someone outthere has got the voice but they doing engineering because they think they cannot make a living by singing
ReplyDeleteand it is time that we change that kind of thinking
DeleteI think that this is a good idea because the is a lot people who have talent and this will help to create a lot of opportunities with in this industry.
ReplyDeleteand ofcos employment
DeleteI think this is a good idea, some of us we are good in writing songs and dejaying and this will enable us to express our talent
ReplyDeletewho ever say that you can not make money from music is a liar
DeleteFirst and foremost how can you borrow someone money who does not even have a cent on his name? That is why banks will asks if you have an account anywhere else to check if you have a good credit record. Nevertheless i really think that the NYDA is a good start for the empowerment of the youth.
ReplyDeleteso just because you donont have a credit record that means you can not borrow money to make more money totally do not get it
DeleteGood idea and i see things happening in music industry as they need support from both side to continue entertaining people with good music.
ReplyDeleteand also make a living from it
DeleteIt is great that the NYDA is supporting such events bacause it gets to show that they are not only focusing on establishing business men and women but supporting causes that influence the growth of South Africa's youth activities.
ReplyDeletebecause the gross profit is south africa is the music industry
Deletewhat an amazing thing done by the nyda, if only we had many of such organisations then we would have a better country with opportunities for everyone.
ReplyDeletethan i guess south africa would be abetter place for everyone
Deleteim proud and this is actually good, so amazing and versatile
