I've been working with a new artist for a couple of weeks now, we call him Cheq, and now it's time for you all to hear from him. A close friend of mine discovered Cheq, brought me in to analyse the singer, and his music. After asking for opinions, we became fully convinced when my lawyer who has been in the entertainment industry for 20, gave his endorsement.

Some weeks ago, we got together to sign a contract, and his career is about to kick off. I know we've all heard and witnessed various stories and all sorts of drama about record labels, managers, artists, and producers, and I can't promise that this will be any different, but what I can promise you is that I will take you through the journey of all we'll do to make a talented singer into one of the top musicians in Nigeria. Read the press release below (written by me ), and enjoy the music, and a basic video we've made for you to share your opinions on. We intend to make another more professional video, it all depends on the reception of this one, and the song. Also, listen on radio for "Love In The Dark".

Cheq releases his first official single, titled "Love In The Dark". The artist who recently joined Republik Music, chose "Love In The Dark" among all his recorded songs in order to send a message of love trust, and new beginnings, which is what he intends to find in the Nigerian music industry.


Akinsanya Olamilekan became known as Cheq in his early days as a music producer, as he would run several mic checks before commencing any recording. Such was his attention to detail and strife for perfection that he got frustrated with producing empty songs for other musicians, and decided to get on the microphone himself, and spread his message.

Republik Music discovered Cheq during a studio jam session with various artists. He stood out with his delivery and instantly won a work contract with the Lagos-based record label, and eventually signed a record deal.

Love In The Dark talks about the relationship between a woman and a man who meet for the first time, and want to get involve for the long-term. The song is written by Cheq, and produced by British producer, CertiBeats. It's a slow, soulful tune with an Afro vibe.
