Starboy Entertainment crew
In one of his interviews, Wizkid told, mentioned that he
has established his own record label to give up-and-coming artistes a platform
to showcase their talents. Starboy Entertainment was established in 2013 by
Nigerian original Starboy Wizkid after quitting the Empire Mates Entertainment
(E. M. E).
The label founded by Wizkid includes Maleek Berry (real
name Maleek Shoyebi) as Starboy producer and Wizkid as the CEO of the label.
The list of current and former Starboy artistes:
- Legendury Beatz (Uzezi & Okiemute Oniko)
- L.A.X., R2bees
- Mr Eazi
- Efya
- Terri
In 2016, the label turned into Starboy Worldwide, with the
signing of Ghana's Efya, Mr Eazi, and R2Bees. Wizkid made the announcement at
the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. He also named Paedae of R2Bees as president of
the new, expanded label.
Now let's talk about the current and
former members of Starboy entertainment crew in more details:
- The Legendury Beatz duo of Mutay and Zei were the earliest members of the Starboy artists
movement. Despite that they still work with Wizkid, they currently have no
contractual agreement with the singer.
- L.A.X
was first signed to Starboy Entertainment in 2013, and by the end of the
year, he had dropped a hit record "Caro". The next year, the
singer and Wizkid released "Ginger", which became another
top-listed hit. In 2016, the singer announced his exit and has gone on to
an independent career.
- Efya
is the Ghanaian songstress. She was part of the Starboy Worldwide push.
You can check her vocal skills if you listen to "Daddy yo" and
"Until the Dawn", two tracks from Wizkids' “Sounds From The
Other Side.”
- Terri,
whose name shows up first on all the promotional material for
"Soco", is the latest addition to Wizkid's Starboy artists crew.
The gifted musician was signed to the label after Wizkid came across his
incredible refix of DJ Jimmy Jatt's hit work "Oshe" on
Instagram. This comes just two months after Wizkid made an announcement
about signing a 10-year-old rapper, Ahmed, at his December concert in
Lagos.
- Ahmed was
on stage with the Wizkid himself delivering some freestyle lyrics, and
after that happened, Wizkid realized that he couldn't leave the young
talent without attention. Ahmed was also offered N10 million. It seems
that Wizkid is slowly but surely building up his Starboy empire with
multiple diverse talents.
Made in Lagos
Earlier this year, Wizkid announced a brand new EP by
Starboy crew called "Made in Lagos". The official release date of the
album wasn't announced yet, but we believe that Nigerian beloved Starboy Wizkid
will make it a great one.
The first song of the upcoming EP "Soco" is a good
start and makes us want more of Starboy crew fresh hits!
