Your music. Your image. Your brand.
It’s not just content , it’s your IP.

In a world where AI can replicate your sound and others can profit off your work, knowing your rights is no longer optional, it’s essential.

Protect your art. Protect your value.

One of the most powerful provisions you can have in a performance agreement isn't about your fee. It's about controlling how your show looks to the crowd in the room and to the world watching online.

Your brand lives beyond the night. Protect it accordingly.

If your music isn’t reaching the right audience, check your metadata first.

Genre is not just a label, it’s how DSPs understand and position your sound. Tag it the wrong way and you’re basically hiding your own music.

Be creative with your sound, not your uploads.
Use the right genre. Let your music be discovered.

Veteran Nigerian singer Segun Akinlolu (Beautiful Nubia) has called out gospel acts Yinka Ayefele and BBO, alleging that melodies from his hit single “Seven Lives” were interpolated in “My Faith in God (Igbagbo Ireti)” by Yinka Ayefele and the recent release “Amin” by BBo without proper clearance.

Now the big question: are the similarities strong enough to warrant a claim? Some listeners think so. And in music, melody isn’t a small thing, it’s the heart of the song. If it’s recognizable, it’s protectable.

This situation once again underscores a critical point for creatives and industry stakeholders alike: interpolation is not merely “inspiration.” It constitutes usage of a protected element of a musical work. Usage, no matter how subtle or stylistically adapted requires proper authorization and clearance from the rights holder.

Any striking similarities enough to warrant a claim? I believe yes.

Interpolation isn’t just “inspiration.” It’s usage. And usage requires clearance.

Thoughts on the recent copyright infringement issue between Veteran Nigerian Singer, Beautiful Nubia and Gospel music Artistes, Yinka Ayefele and BOO.

Rodney “DarkChild” Jerkins, the Grammy-winning genius behind hits like Destiny Childs' “Say My Name”, Beyoncés' "Déjà Vu”, Szas' "Shirt" and Toni Braxton "He Wasn’t Man Enough”, recently shared some real talk on the YouTube Show "And the Writer Is…:

Many producers lose publishing splits because creators want files fast. Extra collaborators get added without notice and suddenly, your slice of the pie shrinks.

The takeaway? Follow proper processes, ensure your contributions are properly cleared, and protect your rights. Having an IP expert in your corner isn’t optional, it’s how you maximize your talent and revenue in this industry.

I have also outlined one of the many approaches to addressing this challenge, ensuring that your rights and revenue are properly safeguarded.

Don’t let spontaneity cost you. Protect your craft, your credits, and your revenue today.

Artists & songwriters, When submitting song credits, please always include your full legal name and stage name.

You’d be surprised how often a solid catalog gets overlooked because the name on the document doesn’t immediately connect to the brand or ring a bell.

Don’t let small admin details cost you recognition. Your visibility is part of your leverage. Give your name and your brand every chance to be seen.

Talent alone is not enough, accessibility is also a vital part of the journey. The opportunity you’ve been hoping and working for may already be viewing your profile. Don’t let “almost” become your story simply because you weren’t reachable.

Sometimes the opportunity isn’t absent; it just couldn’t find a way to contact you. A brand, a client, a booking agent checks your page and finds no email, no contact button, no management details.

Take a moment to update your bio today. You deserve to be reached.
