No need for personal stuff on social media – Trigmatic
Since he came into the music industry nearly a decade ago, Hip Hop artiste Trigmatic has kept his personal life out of social media and he has explained that it is deliberate.
According to him, he was not against celebrities who flaunted their personal life on social media but he was not that kind of person and it wasn’t important to him.
“I don’t want my stuff out there plus my wife or family members are not into showbiz so why would I want to display them? Beyoncé and Jay Z or Kanye West and Kim Kardashian can decide to put their stuff out there because they are all celebrities. Maybe, I will only post my personal stuff on social media if I am making a lot of money from there,” he told Graphic Showbiz.
He added that the only time people could get at someone was when one posted pictures and videos of themselves on social media.
Away from that, contrary to perceptions that music didn’t pay much, Trigmatic said there was money to be made if one did it well. The artiste, known for songs such as Jorley, Motromodwo, Sika Nti, Where We Dey Go and Gbedu, said music paid if you got your act right.
“Now, music is not just about talent, you need to have the right things in place to be a successful musician. A musician should have the right management team, good distribution deals and media promotion to complete the package,” he said.
He also explained that it was about time musicians did other side jobs so that when they were no longer big names out there, they could fall on the other jobs.
“Apart from music, I am into farming and my company also does events which fetch a lot of money. Combining these three jobs makes me comfortable,” he said.
Trigmatic has been made a member of the National Folklore Board by the Office of The President and he said he was happy to be part.
“Being a member of the National Folklore Board is a big deal and I am happy I got the job. I am going to work diligently,” he stated.
