Nigeria's reigning pop sensation, Wizkid, has added yet another feather to his cap as he signs another international deal.
Wizkid
WizKid is arguably the biggest artiste from Nigeria at the moment and he has found a new home.
According to Billboard, the Afrobeats star has signed a multi-album worldwide deal with RCA Records/Sony Music International.
"It’s hard for me to describe what I do, since I work with rhythms from Afro-Beat, reggae, hip-hop, dance hall and others," WizKid told Billboard in a statement. "What’s important to me is for music to be real, authentic, raw and timeless. I don’t wanna be boxed in to any one genre."
RCA Records chairman and CEO Peter Edge added: "We are thrilled
to welcome WizKid to the RCA Records family. He has become a superstar
in the African music scene and will be a game-changer in bringing
African music to the world. We are extremely excited to have him as a
part of RCA and are eager for the journey ahead."
Wizkid and the RCA team
Raised on the sounds of Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade, WizKid (born
Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun) gained popularity with the 2010 track "Holla At
Your Boy" as a signee to Banky W's Empire Mates Entertainment. He's
also released two albums: 2011's Superstar and 2014's Ayo.
"We couldn’t be more excited to welcome WizKid to the Sony Music family," said Sony Music International president of Northern & Eastern Europe and Africa Adam Granite in a statement. "This
is an incredibly important signing as we look to make Africa a major
source of repertoire for the world. Wiz is a key ambassador for this
movement and we look forward to helping him conquer the globe."
WizKid has also already racked up accolades in his young career,
including a BET Award for Best International Act Africa in 2012 and a
British MOBO Award for Best African Act in 2011; most recently, he took
home the honor of African Artist of the Year at both the 2016 African
Pride Awards and the 2016 Ghana Music Awards.
He's currently readying his RCA Records debut.
