Wizkid Signs Mouth Watering Recording Deal
According to reports, Wizkid signed to Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records yesterday, Tuesday, 13 September 2016.
It is a deal worth a ‘mindblowing’ amount, bigger than any African has ever signed with the music giants.
The pop
star has earlier been reported to have signed a global deal, which
according to information reaching Pulse, is the biggest ever deal signed
by an African. The deal dwarfs that of Davido with Sony Music.
“There’s
something big coming up for Wizkid, and it happened while he was in
America. The deal will be the biggest ever signed by an African, and
signifies progress for the music business on the continent,” the source
says.
The
source also confirms that plans are in motion to announce this deal
spectacularly, with many outlets reporting that Sony Music is involved.
The
singer who runs his own label imprint Star Boy has been making steady
waves with his numerous collaborations with international artistes such
as Drake, Sean Paul, Swiss Beatz, Chris Brown and more.
There are also industry rumours that Universal Music has been working on a Wizkid mega deal, and just might have their man now.
The
‘Ojuelegba’ crooner has also been working on dropping an album «Sounds
From The Other Side” a first under the Star Boy imprint, where he has
signed Ghanaian acts – Mr Eazi, Efya and R2Bees. The album is expected
to house the many international collaborations he has been working on.
When
the new deal is announced, Wizkid will join a growing contingent of
African stars who are collaborating with international music companies
to grow their music, influence, and achieve penetration into other
markets.
The
singer who topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts with his Drake ‘One
Dance’ collaboration recently headlined a concert – One Africa Music
Fest, held at the Barclays Center in New York. U.S.A, where he held it
down performing together with ace producer Swiss Beatz.
