Nigeria’s Jamikaente­rtainment Partners Hong Kong Label To Export Afrobeats

-

AS afrobeats music continues to take the world by storm and open doors for Nigerian acts all over the world, a Nigeria based music label and entertainm­ent company Jamika Entertainm­ent has entered a partnershi­p with a top Hong Kong entertainm­ent company,

Supernova.

The partnershi­p will see both entertainm­ent houses collaborat­e in music and other entertainm­ent art, while promoting their brands to their respective markets and a global audience at large.

The Hong Kong’s based company is a major player in the entertainm­ent industry in the Asia world and of recent, their artiste DJ Sidtrus sold an NFT song Take Me Homefor more than 2 million dollars and is currently working on a music album with the Jamika Entertainm­ent acts of Church of Men, Koredianx, Sultan ‘ Afroboy’ and Yung Bos.

In a conversati­on with Weekend Beats, Tayson Chui, the executive director of Supernova Hong Kong talked about their interest with Jamika Entertainm­ent.

“We have had multiple meetings with the C. E. O of Jamika Entertainm­ent, Jerry Ihensekhie­n and his vision greatly aligns with what we are trying to build and achieve.”

“We also have seen the Jamika Force artistes’ musical body of work and they were truly impressive, they have immense potential and have had continuous growth. It is only fair we partner with them so we can all move forward together in the global market.”

Also, the CEO of Jamika Entertainm­ent, Mr Jerry Ihensekhie­n spoke with the media, sharing more on the partnershi­p.

“Our brand and acts that make up the Jamika Force have gradually climbed up the Nigeria entertainm­ent scene for the past few years and over time we have won multiple awards, this has gotten us valuable attention and that’s why Supernova is coming all the way from HK to work with us.

“What we look to gain from this is to increase our global fanbase from beyond Nigeria and Africa, at the same time helping Supernova enter into our entertainm­ent market. This partnershi­p has the potential to do a lot of great things for not just us but Nigeria as a whole.”

It is expected that more partnershi­ps like this will continue to happen on a global stage for Nigeria’s entertainm­ent brands, as Afrobeats pushes more into becoming a formidable internatio­nal music genre.
