G-Worldwide has announced the latest artists who joined their record label: Easy Jay and Ajura.
The record’s Head of Artist Management, Louiza Williams told sources that they are thrilled to welcome Ajura and Easy Jay to the G-Worldwide family.
Speaking of the new artists, Louiza says: “Ajura and Easy Jay have all it takes to develop and become superstars in the African music scene, and will be game-changers in dominating and bringing African music to the world. We are extremely excited to have them as a part of the team and are eager for the journey ahead.
Ajura(real name: Daniel Alaba Ojamomi) is an unconventional artist who got into the entertainment as a dancer rather than a singer.
His early education was in Kabe College, Ilogbo, Ondo state where he picked up dancing as an art of expression. After discovering his love for music, he delved into music production, dedicating his time and scarce resources to creating art. He was later able to start earning from his craft and providing for his family.
When Ajura spoke of his career, he says: “I want to use my music to speak for the dumb, my lifestyle to influence the deaf and my sound to open the inner eyes (minds) of the blind.”
Meanwhile, Easy Jay is an artist who watched his parents go through a divorce as a kid but determined to find his path. Born Oluwashola Raymond Oyekan, in the ghetto of Mushin, Lagos State, he is the first child from a family of three.
Music came to him in middle school. At 13, he was already trying his hands at songwriting, and would use school free periods as mime sessions. All of these got him the colourful nickname ‘Sholi Akon’. He was also popular for his rare accent and scintillating vocals.
According to BellaNaija, Easy Jay’s first recording experience came in 2015, where he impressed in the studio, snagging an instant management deal with the producer, which helped him get more music recorded and developed his talent. That same year, he got into the Federal University of Technology, Akure, where he is currently in line for a degree in Project Management.
Here is what he has to say: “In few years, I want to Inspire a young boy somewhere in Africa or anywhere around the world watching on me on TV to say ‘I want to be just like Easy Jay’.”
