In a bold move to empower the next generation of entertainers from Benue State, renowned figure Bigsmart (Joseph Oche Udeh) has launched the “Descendants of 2baba Support Project,” an initiative set to provide much-needed support to upcoming talents in Nigeria’s competitive music industry. With his first protégé, Boikasey, already in the spotlight, Bigsmart is dedicated to ensuring that the vibrant music scene in Benue gets the recognition it deserves. He made this announcement on his official Instagram page, rallying support for the initiative.
A Game-Changer for Benue’s Entertainment Industry
As a proud native of Benue State, Bigsmart is seeking to give local artists the chance to shine. Inspired by the success of fellow Benue native, 2baba (Innocent Idibia), who has become a global music icon, Bigsmart’s “Descendants of 2baba Support Project” is designed to uplift the state’s emerging artists.
This project’s name is more than just a tribute to 2baba’s legacy. It symbolizes the potential for other talented artists from Benue to follow in his footsteps. Bigsmart’s decision to name the project after 2baba serves as a tribute to the artist’s accomplishments and as a reminder that talent knows no bounds. The project aims to prove that with the right mentorship, resources, and exposure, any artist from Benue can rise to the top.
The project’s first beneficiary, Boikasey, will receive a six-month mentorship program under Bigsmart’s guidance. “I will do everything I can to get him seen and heard,” Bigsmart vowed, highlighting his commitment to transforming Boikasey into a national sensation. Through mentorship, resources, and guidance, Bigsmart aims to equip the young artist with the skills and opportunities to break into the mainstream. This initiative will provide Boikasey with the exposure necessary to attract the attention of industry stakeholders, positioning him for success.
Overcoming the Struggles of Benue’s Talented Youth
For artists in Benue State, breaking into the Nigerian entertainment scene is no easy feat. Despite being home to some of Nigeria’s most influential figures, the state faces numerous challenges. Limited access to high-quality music production resources, lack of exposure, and a dearth of platforms to promote talent make it difficult for upcoming artists to rise above the noise.
As the music industry continues to thrive in major hubs like Lagos and Abuja, artists in less-established regions like Benue often find themselves at a disadvantage. Many aspiring musicians from the state struggle to gain visibility, and without industry backing, their dreams of stardom often remain unfulfilled. This initiative addresses these barriers head-on, offering the support that has long been missing for Benue’s artistic community.
A Call for Support: Lifting Up Benue’s Artists
As Bigsmart moves forward with this ambitious project, he is calling on the wider community to lend their support. “Please, I need your support,” he urged, emphasizing the importance of collective effort in empowering young talent. The success of the “Descendants of 2baba Support Project” hinges not only on Bigsmart’s commitment but also on the backing of fans, industry professionals, and those who believe in the power of local talent.
In conclusion, Bigsmart’s (Joseph Oche Udeh) “Descendants of 2baba Support Project” is more than just a movement — it is a promise to transform the entertainment landscape in Benue State. With the backing of the project, emerging artists like Boikasey now have a fighting chance to make their mark on the Nigerian music scene. This initiative offers a bright future for Benue’s music industry, proving that with the right support, anything is possible.
