Talented singer Khaid recently opened up about his journey in the music industry, shedding light on a particularly memorable moment from his aspiring artiste days. Khaid, who is currently signed to comedian Sydney Talker's label, Neville Records, shared his experience during a recent episode of the Zero Conditions podcast.
In the podcast episode, Khaid recounted the determination he had during his struggling days to secure a coveted contract with Mavin Records, one of the most prominent music labels in Nigeria. To achieve this goal, he decided to reach out to his colleague and fellow artist Rema for assistance.
In a heartfelt confession, Khaid revealed, "Rema, if you are seeing this, please take heart." He recalled reaching out to Rema via Instagram direct message with his old account, where he sent a heartfelt freestyle video. In the message, Khaid implored Rema to help him by showing the video to the renowned music executive, Don Jazzy, in the hopes of securing a record deal with Mavin Records.
Khaid's determination to make it in the music industry was palpable, as he expressed, "I was texting him with all emotions in me, bro. I was texting him with prayers. I was willing to give him my first 1 million Naira." This level of commitment to his dream showcases the passion and drive that many emerging artists possess as they strive for success.
Despite his earnest efforts, Khaid lamented that his messages to Rema went unanswered. This situation serves as a reminder of the challenges and uncertainties that young artists face while pursuing their dreams in the highly competitive music industry.
Khaid's story serves as an inspiration for aspiring musicians, highlighting the importance of perseverance, determination, and the willingness to take bold steps in the pursuit of one's passion. While Khaid's path to success ultimately led him to Neville Records, his journey is a testament to the trials and tribulations faced by emerging talents in the ever-evolving world of music.
In the dynamic landscape of the Nigerian music industry, where talent and persistence often collide with opportunity, Khaid's narrative underscores the importance of artists supporting each other and the unpredictable nature of success.
