PARTNERSHIP WITH EME RECORDS
Empire Mates Entertainment has signed a major deal with Akon’s Konvict
Music to release and produce Wizkid’s album worldwide.
The Banky W- led
record label today announced that paperwork has been signed and that there is now
a confirmed joint partnership between EME and Konvict music.
Although Wiz is the first
beneficiary of the arrangement, the deal also makes provision for EME to launch
any of its follow up acts on the same platform
According to Banky W who’s the chairman of EME “EME is now Konvicts’s official rep in Africa and will run the African arm
of Konvict’s operation including offices, management, studios, A&R,
production and provisions of more artistes to launch under this partnership”
He continues “Wiz is the first
act to be launched under this agreement, but EME will continue to build acts
that achieve enough buzz to also launch on the same platform”
Since debuting in 2008, Empire Mates Entertainment has
revolutionized a fast rising industry by crafting songs that people identify
with using creative ways to market and monetize their brands; while working to
build and expose local talents.
The label is currently putting finishing touches to a
much anticipated EME album ‘Empire state
of mind as well as a major tour of the US and UK.
Glad our Nigerian musicians are going places. I just wish the ladies could catch up to the boys too. Seems like they are being sidelined.
