At the just concluded 4th Nigerian Entertainment Conference, Banky W revealed that in order to make some money off his craft in his early years as a musician, he often sang for women at beauty parlours/salons.
“10 – 15 years ago, I would print posters of my songs and paste it on the car and drive around to salons, where women are and sing to them and then sell the CDs for $5”, Banky W said at the event which held at the Landmark event centre on Wednesday, April 20.Banky W, who spoke on ‘Content Marketing: The Power of Music, Comedy & More’, said artistes need to realise that talent is not enough as they have to apply hard-work to their craft and art.
Furthermore, the Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) boss, quipped: “I used to sing at hair shops and nail salons.”
He used NBA star, Kevin Durant’s popular quote ‘Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard’ to drive home his point.
