Rema, the young Nigerian singer and rapper, has signed a record extension deal with Mavin Records, one of Africa's top record labels. This comes after the release of his critically acclaimed debut EP, "Rema", which features hit tracks like "Iron Man" and "Dumebi."
The new deal, which will see the singer remain with the label for an undisclosed number of years, was announced via Mavin Records' social media accounts. The label's CEO, Don Jazzy, expressed his excitement about the deal, saying, "It's amazing to see how much Rema has grown within such a short period of time. He's a rare talent and we're glad to have him on our team."
Rema's rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. The 20-year-old was discovered by D'Prince, a member of the Mavin Records family, who stumbled upon his freestyle videos on Instagram. In less than two years, he has gone from unknown to one of Nigeria's most popular and in-demand musicians.
His success has extended beyond Nigeria's borders, with the artist gaining a significant following across Africa and internationally. In 2019, he became the youngest Nigerian artist to perform at the Afropunk festival in Brooklyn, New York.
The new deal with Mavin Records is not only a testament to Rema's talent but also a sign of the label's commitment to nurturing young talent and positioning themselves as leaders in the African music industry. In recent years, the label has signed and developed several up-and-coming acts, including Johnny Drille and Ayra Starr.
For Rema, the deal is an opportunity to continue building his brand and expanding his influence. In an interview with Rolling Stone, he said, "I want to be the biggest thing in the world. I want to be bigger than music, bigger than just a person."
With this new record extension, it seems Rema is well on his way to achieving that goal. As he continues to hone his craft and captivate audiences with his unique sound and style, it's clear that he's a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
