Nigerian producer and songwriter, Samklef, whose real name is Samuel Oguachuba, has signed a multi-record deal with Mega star and entrepreneur, Akon to KonLive Records.
“Samklef was signed to KonLive because he is the best all-around entertainer from Nigeria. Everything Samklef touches turns to gold and I expect his first single, “Philo” to quickly climb the charts once it is released in 2017.” said Akon who tops the 2017 list of richest African musicians according to Forbes Africa.
Samklef, a multi-talented music artist, producer, DJ and video director hails from Imo State, but was born and bred in Lagos, Nigeria. “Life on the Nigerian streets amidst the harsh survival conditions of the typical African ghetto made me business savvy and a realist,” said Samklef. “The opportunity to be part of Akon’s camp and learn from the greatest in the music and business world is an honor.”
Samklef has worked with a range of Nigerian artists contributing significantly to Wizkid’s debut album “Superstar”. He has also worked with other acts like Skales, Durella, Ice Prince, Olamide, Sunny Neji amongst others.
Samklef is signed by Akon’s KonLive Distribution and KES Entertainment Record Label, a joint venture partnership with KonLive, En-Treeg and Simcol Entertainment. The purpose of the partnership is to advance the careers of African and Caribbean talent.
