MIRACLE FROM THE MAN CALLED RIGHTEOUSMAN

 



Could it be the demands of being a child prodigy when kids his age are still suckling, buried somewhere under mother’s bosom or maybe the moniker which could well pass these days as a metaphor for talent and consistency? One thing holds true though for the artiste known as Righteousman and that is the fact that long after his contemporaries had become relics, the artiste is still holding up the torch for reggae/dancehall music with a bias for roots reggae.

Soon after overrunning his birth place Benin - city and environs as a teenage star at NTA Benin entertainment flag show, Music Panorama. Righteousman headed for Lagos where as a seventeen year old, he promptly caught the eyes of Felix Liberty, now a pastor and one Nigeria’s pop stars of the 80s.

Even the remix version of same song was an even bigger hit attracting the support of about all the biggest stars on the scene at the time, which made the song the only song to accommodate the highest number of featured artistes anywhere in Naija.

To the surprise of all, Righteousman has over time, built an admirable soar-away repertoire in pretty much every online stores worth its salt and still counting. To further swell the ranks is the release of a brand new single titled ‘’Miracle’’ available on all digital platforms. According to the artiste, the song is a true life story intent on encouraging his fans to believe that things can change for the better.

MIGHTY DOW Presents AFRO-SOCA Offering From The Caribbean

 



Something new and invigorating seemed to be in the air, determined to make its mark on its own terms. The excitement is growing steadily, receiving fantastic compliments from well-known musicians and music lovers from Ghana to Nigeria. Presenting the artiste simply known as MIGHTY DOW, who is ready to make a name for himself with his unique Soca/Calypso sound on the rising African soundscape. He hails from a Caribbean Island of St. Martin/St. Maarten

When Mighty Dow and Righteousman, the dominant reggae artiste from Nigeria, met at a concert in Ghana sometime in October 2023, fate intervened. Righteousman extended an invitation to Dow to visit Nigeria right away. Inspired by the thriving music scenes in Ghana and Nigeria, Mighty Dow went back and recorded his song "Come on Everybody," which is his current single. The song was recorded in St. Maarten, Ghana, Nigeria, and was filmed on location in Lagos, and directed by Righteousman.


Born on the lovely Caribbean island of St. Martins, Christened Isidore York, also known as Mighty Dow, got his start as a young steel pan prodigy, entertaining guests at parties and hotels with his father's steel band, the Potts Steelers. His breakout hit "St. Martin Rhumba," a Soca/Calypso tune that topped the charts in multiple Latin American nations, helped him gain international recognition in 1986. He has created a number of songs with collaborations by well-known performers, including Beenie Man of the island Jamaica. 

Numerous honors have been bestowed upon him, such as in the field of humanity on his home Caribbean island and as a Hall of Famer of the International Raggae and World Music Awards, where he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Mighty Dow, the magician behind the steel, says that visiting Africa is a privilege and a dream come true that goes beyond music since he wants to return to the continent of his ancestors. 

On March 11, 2024, the new video "Come on Everybody" will make its debut on YouTube and other streaming digital platforms.

From Passion to Personalized Scents: The Entrepreneurial Journey of Fragrance Planet's Founder

 


What inspired you to start Fragrance Planet, and how did you come up with the idea for the business? I have always been very passionate about fragrances. Each scent tells a story and has a memory attached. I wanted to create a space where others can experience the magic of scent in a personal way. With my little experience with perfumes and scents, I felt obligated to not only share my favorite scents but also create a unique experience for customers.

 

Can you tell us about your background and how it prepared you for entrepreneurship? My background in the fashion world has been really instrumental in preparing me for entrepreneurship. I started off as an intern in a fashion store where I learnt the ropes of running an online business because I was working closely with the CEO where I gained necessary experience that helped me in starting up my own business. I learnt customer relationships and good advertisement which has helped to improve my own business. Due to my love of smelling really good, I dived into the fragrance world and was able to implement most of the skills I learnt as an intern which has helped me get to where I am as a business owner today.

 

What sets Fragrance Planet apart from other fragrance and beauty retailers? Fragrance planet stands out in several ways. Firstly, our collection has a lot of exclusive and niche fragrance curated to cater diverse tastes.

Thorough market research is essential. Creating a comprehensive business plan is like having a roadmap for the journey ahead. Embrace failures as opportunities to learn and grow. It’s a journey that requires continuous learning, resilience and genuine passion for what you do.

 

How have you adapted to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic? During the pandemic, it was really difficult on the business because we could not deliver, customers could not come in to shop and buy. We were able to adapt to working remotely. Also, we tried our best to satisfy our customers even without physical contact which improved as an online store. We had to improve our online presence, although it was hard, my staff and I were able to work under pressure during the pandemic which helped us improve the brand. We also dive into online blogging where we were to teach and explain about perfumes which helped us pick fragrances of interest without having to walk into the store. Our website was also birthed during the pandemic to allow  seamless transactions between we and the customers.

 

What do you see as the future of fragrance and beauty retail? The future of fragrance and beauty retail is dynamic and exciting shaped by evolving customer preferences and industry trends.

We actively engage with industry publications and journals, ensuring we’re well informed about new trends. Regular communication with various fragrance brands and suppliers keeps us informed about new product releases and upcoming collections.

 

What has been your biggest challenge as a CEO, and how did you overcome it? There are a lot of challenges that I face. We have now started shipping orders  out of the country and I must say it’s not been easy. But through it all I know for sure that it would get easier.

 

How do you balance your personal and professional life as a young entrepreneur? Balancing professional and personal as a young entrepreneur requires a whole lot. I prioritize tasks and set clear boundaries between work and personal life. I always need to work on my time management and also make use of tools to stay organized. Scheduling personal time is just as important as work commitments, ensuring that family, hobbies and self care receive dedicated attention. I try as much as possible to make my work flexible and also reflection on my work life balance allow for ongoing adjustments to meet the demands of entrepreneurship while maintaining personal wellbeing.

There was a customer that came into our store, he was so happy with our service because of how affordable the perfumes were and it was a blind buy, he rated us really well because we met his expectations.
