Singer Wizkid has found a new home, 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.”
Sony Music International president of Northern & Eastern Europe and Africa Adam Granite in a statement said;
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome
WizKid to the Sony Music family. 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.”
