If this isn’t a big step in D’banj‘s musical career then I don’t know what else is. Koko master D’banj was yesterday signed on to the mega entertainment company, Sony Music. According to Linda Ikeji’s blog, “The breakthrough deal also includes a multi-album, worldwide exclusive
contract with emerging Nigerian singer-songwriter star Kay Switch and a strategic partnership with D’Banj’s Nigerian record label DB Records, who’s catalog includes artists and producers such as J.Sol, Jay Sleek and DeeVee.”
Sean Watson, the managing director of Sony Music Entertainment says “Partnering with D’Banj is a seminal event for us at Sony Music Entertainment Africa. We’ve always admired his talent and to be able to assist with bringing D’Banj’s music to millions of fans, established and new, across the continent is an honour for us. There are still so many to whom an artist like D’Banj has so much to offer that we can see a brand new era emanating from this phase in his career. We are very excited about being a part of it.”
Ever since his split with friend Don Jazzy and record label Mo’hits, D’banj has managed to make himself relevant to the international music community. He said at the time of his breakup that music was more than dominating Africa, that it was about taking over the world. Seems like he is ion his way to achieving that. Congratulations to our very own koko master, D’banj.
Meanwhile Don Jazzy has been signed on as face of Loya Milk. :/
