Hardship: Use your talents to stay afloat, expert tells youths

FOUNDER of Hillview Music Label, Henrietta Thompson, has urged Nigerian youths to explore their limitless potential to stay afloat in the face of current economic hardship.

Thompson said while there was no doubt that times were hard, any youth that puts his or her skills to work, would not find it difficult to make ends meet.

She said that she had made so much progress from the moment she realised her passion and dream and decided to run with it.

According to her, Hillview, which was founded in 2022 can be rated as one of the prominent indigenous music companies that can compete favourably anywhere in the world.

She said rather than give up in the face of challenges, she kept at it and today the company is known for its “innovative approach to music production and artist management.”

She, therefore, advised youths, particularly young girls, to stand tall and run with their dreams, adding that as a lady in a men-dominated industry, she had to push to build the company to its present state.

Thompson added, “It was not an easy journey, but today, besides the impressive line-up of artists, Hillview Music has collaborated with top industry professionals to deliver hit songs and chart-topping albums.

“The label, which handles various genres of music, has discography, which includes acclaimed projects such as ‘This Year (Blessings)’ and Blessed Album, An Afrobeat Album which have garnered critical acclaim and commercial success.

“It has also made groundbreaking partnerships with a leading international music distributor, expanding its reach and influence in the global music market.

“This strategic move has enabled the label to showcase Nigerian music on a larger scale, reaching new audiences and breaking boundaries in the industry.

“So, my earnest advice to our youths is not to give up but to keep pushing till their potential puts food on the table for them.”
