Dbanj has opened up on the state of artistes he signed
to his DB records.He also revealed record labels died
after Mohits..Speaking to journalists during MTVBase
media hangout, when asked if he dropped Tonto Dikeh
from his label,he said
Going back to your question, I had a meeting
with my team last year and I told all of them
from my producer to singers that they must
really work hard in 2016. I lead by example.
I am not using inside resources; I now work
with anybody from anywhere. For instance, I
never met the producer of ‘Emergency’ before
he did the song. A Nigerian that I had never
met before also produced the next song I
plan to drop soon. I featured a South African
on it. I want everyone on the label to follow
that direction because I have made up my
mind that we cannot continue to do the same
thing and expect results.
Though I believe that all my artistes including
Tonto Dikeh can stand alone, I feel we
should do things differently. If you look at
the artistes on the label, you would agree
with me that there is something special
about them.
Also, when a woman is married, it becomes a
different ball game. I have not seen Tonto
since her marriage and she has a child right
now too. She has been out of the country.
When we spoke, the last thing she told me
was that she wanted to concentrate on her
foundation before any other thing. Right now,
I just want to continue to work with great
talents from different places.
On record labels in Nigeria
There is no point fooling one another; record
labels in Nigeria died after Mo’ Hits. I am
saying the truth; there is no record label
again.
Any artiste that buys a laptop, produces a
song and manages to get his uncle to pay for
the video could as well call himself a record
label owner. A record label must have
distribution channels in place.
Who says I am not married? I am not
married but if I want to I would do it secretly.
I am tired of people asking me that question;
it is my life.
Getting married won’t change my music or
anything and I am not trying to get married
so as to enter another phase in my life. My
wife doesn’t need fame; my fame is enough
for the whole family.
