Vic mmanuel And Enaesigie Cover’s Musiceasy8 May/June: A Gift to lost time Magaine Latest issue
Making a mark in the Nigerian industry is a gamble that is yet to pay off for both old school and new generation artistes but there’s one, it seems, who already knows that the industry is his to rule.
It’s a regular Thursday afternoon in Delta State sunny with a chance of the normal hustle and bustle on the streets of the most popular state in the country. On my way to Tonero90 HQ for the digital cover shoot/ and musiceasy8 studio for the interview, I was slightly trembling because not only was this my first time doing something like this,

The kind of music I create always have something related to the life we live in.
Musiceasy8 If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
Vic Mmanuel: Music publishers earn less than record labels from YouTube, Spotify, and other streaming and digital services. There is no music and no recordings to be made of music without the creation of a musical composition first. When music publishers are paid less than record labels, not only are music publishers earning less, but the songwriters signed to those companies are earning less. If songwriters cannot make a living writing songs, then songwriting will become a hobby instead of a career.

LET YOUR FASHION TALK WHEN YOU GO BLACK
You might have known it as Lagos Fashion and Design Week but now, the #LFDW is back and better with a name change to Lagos Fashion Week so that’s #LFWNG to you and the rest of the fashion world, here in Africa and internationally.
Yes, this name change is a bold statement, one in the direction of global dominance and recognition when it comes to African fashion. Dare we say we’re now amongst the big 4… so the big 5? A girl can dream
Of course, MusiceasyStyle was there to cover all the juicy bits of the Autumn/Winter shows this year.
