Entrepreneurial Lessons From The Life Of Peruzzi

Be Unique

Peruzzi chose an entirely new style of music ‘UrbanAfro Vibe’. This made him a unique musician who sings an entirely different genre. At a point, in order to find himself, he stopped listening to Nigeria music for about three years. He did all that so he could develop himself and stand out from the crowd.

Also, an entrepreneur must strive to be unique in content and product creation. This is because the market is already saturated therefore, to stay relevant, you must dare to be different.

Master Your Craft

If Peruzzi had not improved on this musical talent, his name might not be heard in the music industry talk more of having the opportunity of collaborating with big artistes.

He started at age 7 and has polished his skill over the years. His voice stands out. Also, he is a talented song writer with a good lyrical prowess who write songs for people.
