...announces deal with DJ Exclusive, Shaydee, XO Senavoe and Master Kraft
Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) today
officially announced the signing of singer-songwriter Niyola to the label.
EME boss Banky W made this known in Lagos while
speaking with a group of editors and media executives.
Niyola, a smooth and
sultry singer, who has one album to her name, and a couple of hit singles that
attracted many to her, is the first lady to be signed on the label. Before
joining EME, Niyola was an independent artiste, working to establish her
recording career and plant her feet firmly in the mainstream.
‘I was eagerly
searching for a place to call home’, the singer comments. ‘And after being
friends with the EME family for sometime, I realized this is my home, where my
heart and my soul is. This is where I want to be’.
Apart from Banky W, who doubles as talent and
executive, EME is also home to pop star Wizkid,
and rapper Skales. That list will now include star jockey DJ Exclusive who
recently singed a deal to be EME’s official DJ, Master Kraft- Official
producer as well as the respected Ghanaian hip hop act XO Senavoe, who is the
label’s first international signing.
EME also announced the
signing of the gifted singer Shaydee, who has been described by industry
watchers as one of the most important singers to watch out for this year.
‘Empire Mates has come
a long way, since Banky W, and our
first single. The entire continent and the rest of the world have accepted and
supported us’ a statement from the label reads. ‘That support has birthed so
many great things, and today, we’re happy to announce our expansion, as we take
up new talents, new challenges, and seek new ways to deliver beautiful African
music to the world’.
‘We’re excited to have
Niyola, Shaydee and DJ XClusive on board EME’, ‘we’re having a fun ride
already, as you guys will find out on the new materials coming out next week’, says Wizkid,
the MOBO award-winning popstar who was discovered and nurtured by EME.
