These days anyone can confidently say they want to become musicians without coming under heavy backlash from friends and family. The above fact is very true because the millennium has brought in a lot of glamour and most importantly money for these artistes.
Despite all the drama involved in the music business and general entertainment, sadly only a few artistes make it really big in the industry. 80% of the success enjoyed by artistes circulates around only about 20% of the lot.
These days success in the Nigerian music industry is not only exclusive to older musicians but younger Nigerian artistes are also cutting big checks too. The likes of Wizkid and Davido are perfect examples that success can happen to even the young at heart.
On that note let’s check out some of the most successful nigerian musicians under age 25.

To top that Kiss Daniel is now a record label boss after exiting G-Worldwide to set up his music imprint Fly Boi Inc.
Since emerging on the scene Vado has a string of awards to his name and he is still a very hot commodity.
