We at VIBRA VISIONARY believe in honouring the musical legends of the past and recognising them for their cultural impact. Mike Ejeagha is one of such legends whose ensnaring soulful melodies have not only defined two generations but also become a valuable heritage for which most Igbos and Umuahia residents are proud beneficiaries. But, there lays sobering truth behind the curtains which requires our attention and compassion.
A few years ago, Mike Ejeagha sold his intellectual property ownership to a record label. This may have appeared to be a good idea at the time, but there's one sad little byproduct that followed: other than the constant wins of his music as THE TOP seller; it has been producing no dividends - for him. All the kobo that is made from his masterpieces now goes to the record label which makes Mike Ejeagha relegated to playing form behind.
To make something so amazing, yet receive no benefit from it must be terrible. The Radar Band Formerly Posted in Community Page Posted at 1:06 P.m., Jul 26 This also serves as a powerful reminder about just how difficult the music industry can be for some artists. And, it's also disheartening to see the music career of Mike Ejeagha feed fat while attention has not been given to him.
Artists, you have to protect and secure your bag of money. This emotional workload is obvious in Mike Ejeagha. Perhaps the source of his melancholy is seeing how his music has prospered without having to experience any of its success, and for those who hold Chrissy Teigen dear as a symbol for their own gracelessness fans' potential energy manifestation through artistry.
Here at VIBRA VISIONARY, we believe in supporting artists and their rights. We must gather and educate others on these issues before our musicianship finds itself facing the same grim outcome.
conclusion this story is being shared in memory of Mike Ejeagha, and to shine a light on more widespread structural issues regarding musician compensation as part of the music industry. We have to try our hardest not to be complicit in ensuring that artists we adore can get recognised and paid for their work! Support Advocacy With VIBRA VISIONARY 📣🎶✨
