How do you discover new music?
I either learn about new music on the radio or because I work in the music industry, artists usually send unreleased tracks to me for A&R or advise on release plan/strategy.
I also discover new music online via instagram, triller, TikTok or on various new music friday playlists on spotify or apple music.
What formats do you usually listen to? LP, CD, Cassette, Digital, Streaming Services? Why?
I listen to or consume new music digitally through the various music streaming services available. I don’t buy CD’s or cassettes anymore and it’s been a really long time since I listened to music via those mediums. I use audiomack.
Where do you do most of your music listening?
I like listening to music while driving or whenever I’m at home and want to relax. While driving I listen to soundcity radio in lagos, it’s a 24hrs music radio channel that plays music. But most of all I listen to music while at home because I also work from home.
“Most of the pre-release music I listen to is sent to me by the artists”

Most of the pre-release music I listen to is sent to me by the artists via WhatsApp or SoundCloud link or I hear it as first-listens on the radio.
What are your frustrations with listening to music digitally? Any benefits?
I hardly encounter issues when listening to music digitally except for pop up ads.
How do you keep track of everything you are listening to?
I create a playlist and fill it up with all the new tracks I’m listening to at the moment, that way it’s easy to always come back to them.
Do you tip other people off to new music? How?
Yes I do. I share and recommend new music on my social media platforms. I also share new music links to friends and family.
