About Us

Why Nairatunes.com?

Somewhat ironically, the same bloggers who like to quickly put up artists songs are the same ones that are helping artists to gather fans from Nigerians in Diaspora but that shouldn’t come at the expense that artist’s music should be let out as freebies. The internet has made it easy for pirate to distribute music effortlessly – let’s take a 30GB iPod that can store about 7,500 songs and normally a single should be sold for at least $0.99 meaning that an individual with a 30GB iPod might just have stolen songs worth of $7,425. We know that a simple average does not provide a very clear picture of the market for digital music downloads.

And in reality, there is no average user. Rather than crafting a product and service with significant limitations on how it can be used, we at Nairatunes.com have decided to help Nigerian artist’s target a wide audience of different users with unique needs. A decision to help Nigerian artists and royalty owners fight the cyber crime called piracy. It is a disease that needs to be cure now before it becomes fully blown like Alaba International Market.

It is without doubt that artists and those involved in the production of their records work day and night but in the end they do not rip the fruit of their labor which to us is unfair. We also noticed that iTunes charge Nigerian artist high commission for every singles/albums that are being sold on the network and it even takes couple of months before their music can be displayed on iTunes. This and numerous other issues is what prompted us to design Nairatunes.com a place where Nigerian artists can sell their album and still get a reasonable percentage on every singles/mix-tapes/albums that we sell for them. The selling price would be 7 USD and PayPal gets a dollar for the charges and 60% of the remaining 6 USD goes to you as an artist.

How much do I earn each time someone buys one of my songs?

For songs purchased for 99 cents, you’ll earn 49 cents (50%)
For songs purchased for 89 cents, you’ll earn 39 cents (44%)
For songs purchased for 79 cents, you’ll earn 29 cents (37%)

Sell your singles/mix-tapes/albums through us so that together we can combat piracy. Our goal is to search the web and get rid of any illegal sales of Nigerian music or illegal downloads, getting started with us is one thing that will change the face of the music industry in a positive way.
