The DIY Collective, a creative community dedicated to building opportunities for youngartists, today announces the launch of Bonus Track, a new live performance seriesspotlighting the depth of talent within Nigeria’s music industry.
Set in Hard Drives Records, an old record store and studio that carries the spirit of Nigeria’sevolving music culture, Bonus Track is designed as a stage to breathe new life into songsthat deserve to be heard. Moving beyond the polish of studio recordings, the platformfocuses on live renditions that capture raw artistry and emotion.
This platform was created to give songs a second life. It is a space for music that may neverbe officially released, for old records to be rediscovered, and for live renditions that reflectthe emotions and pivotal moments of an artist’s journey. Whether it is closing a chapter orbeginning a new one, Bonus Track allows artists to use live performance as a canvas forstorytelling, creating something intimate and unforgettable for their audience.
Through Bonus Track, The DIY Collective continues its mission of nurturing the nextgeneration of Nigerian creatives by providing them with platforms that go beyond traditionalrelease strategies.
“Too often, powerful songs never make it past the studio walls, or artists don’t get the chanceto perform their work in the most authentic way. Bonus Track is our way of changing that,”said Lammy A, founder of The DIY Collective. “We want to show the rawness, vulnerability,and versatility that makes Nigerian music special.”
The program is now open for submissions from artists eager to share their stories andsongs in this unique live format. Selected artists will be featured in a full season of performances rolling out soon across digital platforms.
With Bonus Track, The DIY Collective reaffirms its role at the forefront of cultural innovation;bridging artists to audiences in new, meaningful ways, while building structures that spotlight creativity, growth, and community in Nigeria’s music scene.
