Empire Mates Entertainment (EME) officially announced the signing of
singer-songwriter Niyola to the label, and announces deal with DJ
Exclusive, Shaydee, XO Senavoe and Master Kraft.
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.
