Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Joseph Akinwale popularly known as Joeboy has highlighted some benefits<\/a> that new media (social media) has brought to the music industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joeboy in an interview on 3FM Drive recalled how he was discovered by Mr. Eazi through social media stressing that the platform has broken some barriers in the music industry.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Alcohol\u2019 crooner said the platform has eradicated the era where a few top people in the industry select and choose the prominence and breakthrough of musicians they prefer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like social media has broken the dodge, you know like at first there used to be gatekeepers in the industry that if this person does not accept or acknowledge you, you are not going to make it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow all of a sudden you can just get into the industry by just posting a cover or a song of yourself singing randomly on your bed and next thing is it is getting millions of views and everybody wants to work with you and connect with you,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can take a picture in front of a jet right now, I won\u2019t say a word and the next thing bloggers will say Joeboy has bought a jet and people who do not know me privately will believe it and if do not see anything they will take it as fact,\u201d the afrobeats star told Chrystal Kwame-Aryee on Thursday, April 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n
