Мusic Gateway Success Stories | Adonye Banigo

“There are so many services available on Мusic Gateway and I feel like I have only scratched the surface!”
Adonye Banigo

Мusic Gateway has always been proud to showcase our talented artists, especially those who show such promise in their commitment and drive to work with our team to make their dreams a reality.

Emerging artists have the ability through our site to contact our team and discuss in detail what it is they are looking to achieve within their music careers, even if at first they are unsure themselves. Artists such as Adonye Banigo came to us through our recently acquired company Future Music ran the international Open Mic competition, in which Adonye won Showcase Winner for the regional finals, an award given for those with real potential as a rising star within the music industry.

“I certainly didn’t have the confidence to audition for a show like X-factor or The Voice, but I heard about Open Mic UK, a competition looking for original songs, and I was like “I’m in”! I got through to the Regional Finals and the feedback I got from the judges was “a very confident, self-assured performance with a super silky vocal and nice vibrato”. I couldn’t believe it.”

Мusic Gateway’s acquisition of Future Music and subsequently Open Mic created another platform in which emerging artists had a real chance to have their voices and stories heard. Collaborating and getting feedback from industry-leading professionals who guide raw talent in such a saturated industry, feeds into Мusic Gateway’s ethics and core beliefs in providing one central place to guide, advise, teach and direct those who are serious about their careers, giving them everything they need to make it in such a difficult and competitive business.

“We’ve slowly learnt that as we look to change the industry for the better it’s less about experience and more about attitude.“

Мusic Gateway provides a hub in which artists can network, build, learn, create and sell their music giving our members the tools and knowledge they need to excel. Adonye, after learning about our company, knew that with our values and following on from his success with Open Mic, where he could find what he needed to build on what is progressively becoming a huge career for him.

Adonye has a degree in science and currently works in healthcare, until his success in becoming a regional winner with Open Mic, he never considered Music as a serious career in which he would become an established artist. With no training and little background in music education, he had nothing more than a cassette radio as a child and empty tapes to record the tracks he loved listening to the most.

“It’s a very cliché story but I grew up in church and I was always enthralled by the music and the singing. I was about 9 when I managed to convince my parents to give me an old radio with an in-built CD and cassette player that no one wanted…Growing up I loved artists like Otis Redding, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, and they had and still have a lot of influence on me musically. Now artists like Jessie Ware and Troye Sivan are big inspirations for the music I create.”

Adonye has already begun his artist development program with Мusic Gateway, he is undergoing consultations with our industry managers, discussing how to best pitch and promote his tracks, videos, name and gigs for larger-scale events and to a wider audience. Since beginning the program, he has set up a Game Changer account so that he can start distributing his tracks for free and upload them to our ‘Sync Portal’, to secure music placements in TV, Film, Gaming, and Advertising.
