Pop star Davido has signed a record deal with Sony Music at their
headquarters in New York. This deal is the first of it’s kind in decades
and provides Davido a huge machine in Sony Music which will help him
create, distribute and market his music at a world class level.
The deal which was executed by Nigerian raised, American music executive
Efe Ogbeni (Grace, Red One) who is also partners with Nicki Minaj on
Parker Ighile’s project, and facilitated by Davido’s manager Kamal
Ajoboye, is the BIG reason why Davido’s sophomore album, The
B.A.D.D.E.S.T was pushed back in 2015.
Present at the signing were Edgar Beger (Chairman and CEO Sony Music
International) Davido, Adewala Adeleke, Efe Ogbeni, Kamal Ajiboye.
This is an amazing day for Nigerian and Afrobeat music; a lot is about
to change and our sound now has a TRUE opportunity to make a dent in the
music space on a global level. A big congrats to Davido!
