In-game description
“Night shifts at the Shrine. From backup vocals to Afrobeats giant.”

Highest top-rank pay in the game, but the shifts are evening and weekend ones at the Afrika Shrine. The Musical trait plus Open Mic and Write a Banger gigs make this a full music life.

Pay grows 13.4× from the first rank to the last. At entry level, 5 shifts a week bring in ₦37,000, which covers 30 weeks of the cheapest Lagos rent (Hall of Residence, ₦1,200). At the top rank the same week is worth ₦495,000. Shifts start at 18:00, so this job suits players who log in in the evening.
