1.1 Background of the Study
Photography plays a vital role in the promotion and visibility of local music, bridging the gap between artists and their audience. In today’s media-driven world, visuals are critical for creating impactful connections and enhancing the marketability of musical talents. For local musicians in Malumfashi Local Government Area, Katsina State, photography provides an accessible and creative medium for showcasing their artistry, cultural heritage, and identity. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok rely heavily on photographic content, making it an indispensable tool for engaging audiences and expanding reach. However, local artists in Malumfashi often face challenges such as limited access to professional photography services and inadequate training in visual marketing strategies. Despite these challenges, photography has proven to be a key driver of visibility for emerging talents in other regions, with its ability to highlight performances, create promotional materials, and shape the narrative of an artist’s brand. This study explores the influence of photography on local music promotion in Malumfashi, emphasizing its role in enhancing artist recognition, audience engagement, and cultural representation.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Local musicians in Malumfashi struggle with limited visibility and recognition due to inadequate promotional strategies and a lack of professional branding tools. Although photography is widely acknowledged as an effective medium for music promotion, its potential remains largely untapped within the local music scene. Challenges such as low access to skilled photographers, insufficient resources, and limited awareness of the strategic use of visuals in music marketing have hindered the ability of local musicians to compete in a highly visual, content-driven music industry. This study addresses these gaps by examining the role of photography in promoting local music in Malumfashi, providing insights into its influence on audience engagement, cultural representation, and artist development.
