a biographical website on the Nigerian music impresario

In Nigeria, and surely in many enlightened and music circles outside the country, the name Steve Rhodes elicits professionalism and credibility in music enterprise.

Coming from a humble but elitist background, Steve Rhodes gradually rose to the pinnacle of his profession, providing guidance and leadership in an uncharted and uncertain Nigeria music terrain. Today, so many hands that passed through him have become household names. He is an African model whose precepts and legacies are worth being globalised for historians, researchers, students, journalists and the younger generations all over the world.

However, the legacies of Steve Rhodes might be lost on the younger generations if efforts are not made to package him on the inter-continental library called the internet. In this information age, what is currently available on him on the internet is rather too skeletal and inadequate. For all his contributions, it is unacceptable to an appreciative people not to globalise Steve Rhodes.

It is within this framework that Livingprojects Media Network is embarking on an epochal mission to package his profile and history, contributions and music, his candid views on Nigerian/African music, political development, etc in a refreshing manner on a new memorial website to be called www.steverhodesnigeria.com.
