Abstract

This paper discusses the production and distribution of music as a catalyst for socio-economic changes affecting the environmental sustainability in Nigeria. The various stages in the development of Nigerian music ecosystem, particularly as it concerns the ecological role of producer-agents (human and mechanised agents such as the use of AI in music creation), managers, singers, distribution agencies (record labels, musicians and producers, and various streaming platforms) and the copyright palaver are also significant subjects of examination here. The investigation tries to understand not only the historical path of the development of the music industry in Nigeria but also the different change phenomenon occurring today in the world with regard to the digitalization technology in music creation and dissemination and how these changes affect the environment negatively or positively. Issues raised in the paper include, how the Nigerian music industry can square up with the current world’s trend of creating a sustainable environment for human development. What are the challenges music production and marketing in Nigeria face and what are the prospects for a sustainable environment?
