Amid the controversy in the Nigerian music industry, veteran Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oluwajuwonlo Iledare, popularly known as Jaywon, has advised fast-rising singers on the importance of 'making impact" with music.

The 'This Year' crooner on social media, revealed that his issue with many young artistes is their notion that music is just about 'numbers.'

According to him, many of them exert pride due to the belief emanating from the streams, recognition, strong PR machine, and money to throw around.

Correcting their misconceptions, Jaywon emphasized that music goes beyond numbers, but rather about impact, changing minds and touching souls.

He said:
"The problem with a lot of you youngins and small minds is thinking music is only about numbers.

You believe that because you’ve got streams, recognition, a strong PR machine, and money to throw around.

That automatically makes you the best artist in the best artist in the world, Lol.

Music isn’t about numbers. It’s about impact, changing minds and touching souls.

That’s why Legends like Bob Marley and Fela still matter.

Their music is forever."
