SONGS THAT CAN EASILY GET YOU SPONSORSHIP OR FUNDING.
Last Year , Wax Dey said something which really made sense. He said " Before entering into a Studio and doing a Song, kindly ask yourself whether if Trace Africa does not play this Song, How will I make money from the Song? " We found it interesting and true. Wax Dey has done songs like Coco Na Chocolate which got sponsorship and Strong Girl which also got Sponsorship from ONE. ONE is a movement that campaigns to end Extreme Poverty and also promotes Equality. Cocoa is one of the Richest Resources that Africa has and we think ONE believed that promoting a Song like that will make Africans know the importance of our Natural Resources and Agriculture . Promoting a Song like #Strong girl goes ahead to Empower women. Those are the objectives of ONE. So tell us why they won't fund that? Today we will be talking about the kind of Songs that You can do to gain Sponsorship or Funding.
Racism. The world is going through a tough time. We fighting Racism and many organizations Like ENAR (European Network against Racism), IMADR etc We have more than a hundred of them. Music is a universal language and if you launch a project as such you can easily get sponsorship or Funding from these Organizations. But then you must know how to pitch it to them .
African Resources. If you do a song talking about the Rich Resources that Africa got. It is very You got Sponsorship from Organizations that seek to Empower and eradicate Extreme Poverty from Africa. Wax Dey did with #Cocoa na Chocolate and Got Sponsorship from ONE. There are still many NGOs out there that can Support songs of that Nature.
EQuality. Songs that Stand for Equality in the Society and Racing the standards of the Girl Child easily gets Sponsorship and Funding. Look at the Strong Girl Project by Wax Dey that seeks to Empower Women. It still got Funding from ONE. ONE fights for Equality in our Society. We still have Many Organizations that do so and might see your song as an advert and decides to buy it.
Peace. Africa suffers from Wars and Crises every year. We have associations and Organizations seeking to maintain peace in our Society. What about the UN fighting to maintain peace in Africa? Many other Associations fighting for that and a well crafted Project will easily get funding or Sponsorship from them.
Kids. Children go through a lot. We have many organizations fighting for the rights of children especially the Girl Child. Organizations like the Golden Heart Foundation which empowers the Girl Child, gives scholarship to them and give vocational training will be proud to sponsor a song you do advocating for the Rights of the Girl Child.
Football. You remember KNaan's Song #Waving flag chosen as the theme song for the World Cup in South Africa? Can you imagine the amount of money he made from it? Do projects as such. It will be easy to get sponsorship if the project is good.
Global Warming. The world is Fighting against this and Organizations put in place to combat this.. Imagine doing a great musical project that sensitize the whole world about the effects of Global warming? Organizations fighting it will definitely use it as an advert to spread the message.
Unfortunately our people sing about Ferrari, Bughati, Bitches, Ass, My love, all the time and end up empty. Even if you must do that, kindly initiate Great Projects that can Pay you for long. Ko C understood this and has been doing the most . He targeted two brands in two different songs and all got a deal with them .
While entertaining people try to make a living .
Much Respect to Wax Dey , he has done so much for people to learn from .
