Nigerian singer/songwriter WizKid has found a new home. As previously
heard on Drake ’s Hot 100-topping hit “One Dance” (which he co-wrote
and co-produced), 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.”

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 a few 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.

Congrats star boy, Keep selling Africa to the world.
