Frijos. . . .Your Sepe remix sounds good. . .The guy you featured made it look better. . . There is something odd about you tho. . .Your music/melody ideas are primitive!. . .Sound like naija music in 2002!. . U need to be more creative mahn. . . .

And you need Vocal lessons. . . . ur vocal on "cos i love you" is dodgy. . .

Goodluck sha. . .

Frijos, have you considered not using any form of auto-tune on your vocals? People need to hear what you sound like, at the moment it is a bit generic - another naija artist.

PS
Who is the girl in your video? grin I like her pose.

Yeaah mehn personally for me i don't dig "autotune" but this kind of person that listens and is very attentive. if my producer says let's add a likkle bit of autotune to it i'd say ok! autotune or no autotune i go still try vocally lol. Thanks for the observation bro!

The girl in the video? I don't know! ask my homie faakay telldem!!! grin

elrazur why dont u tell t-pain to consider not using autotune ,
some kind of people actually notice things they can always criticize in songs
el razur maybe u should try learning how to see the good part of certain things. and not the bad part e''rytime
just an advice for u mate .

In a market where it is hard to break out, you need to have your signature. Just like producers like Dre, Timba et al all have individual signature on their beat, as an artist you need to find yours. Michael Jackson had the "Heeeeeeee Heeeeeee", "chaaaamone", James Brown have the crazy shouts etc. You may need to find something similar or what makes you different from another naija artist. To find that, I think in my opinion you need to stay away from the Gimmicks of this cancer called auto-tune.

Try recording your vocals without no backing tracks, add a bit of Reverb on it and see if there is anything you like about it. Go further and do a ballad - i.e sing a nice slow song - without any backing tracks and try to work on where you feel are lacking. Then go ahead and do a short song, give it out and hear what people say. Depending on your voice type, you may ask your sound engineer or producer to enhance is a little bit. Do not add anything dramatic to it . If you do, it will make such song singing it live at a show very difficult.

To do all of the above, you need to be able to sing in the first place. If you can't sing, then I suppose you can hide behind an auto tune.

Also when singing, you may try and improve your range - i.e use different tones and "transpose" or simply put, in different keys. This is very lacking in most naija tracks, perhaps you can pull it off?

I don't know who you sound like when you are singing. It may be advisable to pick up Usher's first album and then compare it to the one he released later. You can learn a thing or two about voice range from that. [His first album did not contain much range, but he experimented with good vocal ranges in the subsequent albums and it worked for him]  

Also study the work of MJ. MJ may be a tricky one though as you need to have that natural singing talent and superb vocal range he's got. lol.

PS
I am not an authority in anyway, I am just passionate and enjoy making music  as a hobby, been doing so for years now. smiley

Goodluck.
