EMPIRE MATES ENTERTAINMENT IN SEARCH OF A NEW FEMALE ACT.



Words:Adedosu 'kenzy' Adekunle


"#random it will be kool to hear a female voice say #EMEaazzyy on a track."


This was the tweet by Tunde Demuren, a director at Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), at 12:56AM three days back, is just another reason why we’re thinking the pop label is searching for the lady that’ll join other acts like,Wizkid, Skales and Banky W on the label.

The main reason itself came out from Banky W’s statement to a Studio 53 Extra interviewer few hours before Demuren’s tweet.

Banky W, also a director at the label, and the A&R mind behind the signing of Wizkid and Skales, said the label is hoping to soon have its own first lady.

‘It’ll be nice to have an EME first lady‘, Banky told —– during the interview which aired on MNET fourth night ago.

It’s uncertain who the label is considering or whether at all they’re considering anyone yet. And if they are, it’s very unlikely it’ll be a project for this quarter – Skales’ album is priority for now, those close to the label say; as well as the R&BW album from Banky.

Meanwhile, Mo’Hits and Chocolate City are also hoping to sign their first set of female acts too.

Mo’Hits said at a press conference last year they’re hoping to use the next edition of Koko Mansion to find a female talent the label will push. No details have been announced.
