Why I’m spending so much money on my music — Gloria Ibru

The talented daughter of renowned business mogul, Olorogun Michael Ibru, that she is doing music which will still be relevant in the next 30 years.She told Vanguard

“ I am doing music that will be relevant in 30 years. I don’t want to do music that is forgotten in six months, which is why I am spending so much time and so much money doing the music. Believe me, the money will come back”.

When asked what her challenges have been, she said: 

“The whole album is played live, it’s not simulated music. The instruments are played live, we do not have the equipment in Nigeria to do them at once. So the instruments record one after the other, it takes time and money. Now, what we need to do is to encourage Nigerians that love music to come in and invest in proper studios. It will be cheaper for younger people to do music live if we have more studios. The reason young artistes do simulated music is because it’s so expensive. This is why we are not getting real music out of Nigeria”
