Meet the founder of Kunbi Music exclusive interview on Bellafricana

She left her career in IT consulting and delved into an early years music education franchise in the UK in order to have better control of her time to raise her children. She is currently the founder of Kunbi’s music, Let’s meet her.

Please introduce yourself and your background 

My name is Kunbi Osinoiki, a music educator passionate about positively transforming lives, young and old, by providing structured and enjoyable music learning experiences. I am married to Sola Osinoiki and we have three grown up children.

Tell us about your work. How did your company start?

My first degree was in Economics from the University of Manchester, followed by an MBA from the University of Liverpool but I started learning to play the piano when I was five years old. I was able to draw on my musical background to launch a career in music education many years later when I started having children. I decided to leave my career in IT consulting and buy into an Early Years music education franchise in the UK in order to have better control of my schedule so I could pick up my young son from school. I eventually sold my UK business and set up Kunbi’s Music Company in Nigeria 12 years later. Today we provide music education services to individuals, groups and schools both within and outside Nigeria. In the last few months, I also set up the SME Tech Coach, where I help coach CEOs of small businesses on how to transform their operations through the judicious use of tech.

How did you come about the brand name and what does it mean?

To be honest, the brand name came about because I was unable to register any of my preferred names with the corporate affairs commission and Kunbi’s Music Company was the only combination that passed the search stage!

What is your niche and how did you know it was a market to get into?

My niche is the provision of creative, systematic and progressive music learning opportunities for all ages. It is a market to go to because too many people quit music lessons because they find them boring and uninspiring. My purpose is to make the journey so fulfilling that quitting is never an option!

Where do you get the inspiration for your products

I get inspiration from a global community of music studio owners that I am part of. I see and learn from their innovation and mistakes every single day and I am inspired to enrich lives through music like they do.

Can you remember one of the first products you made or service you started? What makes it memorable?

Our very first service was our Boogie Babies classes – music and movement for early years. It was very memorable because when we first started, we had just a small space to work from – a small office attached to my mum’s store. And we often had just one child and their parent in attendance. It’s very difficult to create an atmosphere with such a tiny group. But we persevered. And here we are today.

What are some of the challenges you face in your business?

Our biggest challenges are logistics, power and internet connectivity. Getting to appointments within a short window can be a big challenge and sometimes erratic power and internet connectivity can affect our operations.

Do you have any regrets venturing into this line of business?

Not at all, it’s been challenging but a great learning experience.

What is your most popular product?

Piano lessons are by far the most popular. We teach other instruments and well but the demand for piano far outweighs the others.

To what extent do you draw upon your Nigerian (African) heritage for your work?

I draw on it a whole lot. Culture gives meaning and expression to music and we always try to include traditional and modern Nigerian songs in our learners repertoire.

What are some of your short term goals and long term goals, both in your business and life in general

My short term goal is to double our clientele by the end of this year. My long term goal is to open music education hubs across the continent.

What would people be surprised to learn about you

My age. People think I am much younger than I am. Maybe due to my stature and smooth skin. I turned 50 this year.

What profession would you be in if you weren’t in this Industry?

I would be in IT Consulting  If you could give one piece of advice to anyone who wants to start their own business in your industry, what would it be?

If you could give one piece of advice to anyone who wants to start their own business in your industry, what would it be?
Be methodical, be honest with your clients about what music learning entails, be creative and remain curious.

“Once upon a time mitimeth visited a company that had loads of jute selvages. Management figured that since they were into Upcycling, they will be able to do something useful with the selvage material which was waste generated from their manufacturing process. Super thrilled and beaming with ideas, we took the Jute selvage waste and ran with it. They used the selvages to create   zipper pouch bags with layers of frills to add just a little bit of drama to the mix.

The detachable turquoise bag handles are made from fish leather. Yep, you read that right! Leather made from the inedible skin
of the Nile perch by a Social Enterprise in Kenya Upcycling and combining waste materials is the name of our game mitimeth

Whether or not you wear makeup, cleaning your face at the end of each day is critical for maintaining a clear complexion. Cleansing twice a day doubles as a gentle exfoliation, removing the top layer of dead skin cells. Dirt, grime, sweat, and excess oil are also removed.

It’s also important that after cleaning the face, it leaves your face dry and wrinkled, that’s why you will need the hydrating cream. Treda Organic’s hydrating cream contains relaxing ingredients that help smoothen, rejuvenate, and calms the skin, and more importantly, make it even more adaptable to your lifestyle (especially if you spend a bit of time under the sun or you are open to harsh weather conditions).

2. BODY TONER:

Okay, toners aren’t strictly required for skincare, but toners can make such a difference in how your skin looks and feels after cleansing that you should probably want to try them. Body toners help to refresh and brighten the skin. It is an ancient West African soap recipe, tested and trusted to treat many skin conditions and give an even-toned glowing skin.

This blend is handmade with love, infused with Turmeric, and made by an excellent skincare brand, Modara naturals, is an age-old Asian ingredient, known to brighten and above all, give an even skin tone. It contains relaxing essential oils and helps in clearing breakouts on the face and body. Applying about two pumps on your sponge or hands daily as an effective skincare routine will give you the perfect skin tone and Asakwa Tumeric black soap is quite foamy and makes bathing a lot more fun.

4. MOISTURIZER:

Face/body moisturizers are next, which keep your skin soft and hydrated while also helping to improve its barrier. If your skin is oily or acne-prone, use a lighter moisturizer during the day, such as a lotion or gel that absorbs fast and doesn’t pill beneath makeup. If your skin is dry, consider a cream or a heavier product. Dermatologists prescribe moisturizers for all skin types all year since hydration is essential for keeping skin looking young and healthy. “Look for compounds like ceramides or hyaluronic acid, which are the building blocks of skin moisture retention,” says the expert.
