EME Signs Niyola As First Female Act
Finally, Banky W confirms Niyola
We told you a while ago about we had serious pointers that
talented Singer, Niyola had most likely been signed by Empire Mates
Entertainment (EME). Well, it has now become official that the singer and
ongwriter has joined 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 pop
star who was discovered and nurtured by EME.
