Nigerian multi-talented sensation, Tekno has officially penned an imprint deal with emPawa Africa headed by Mr Eazi as Founder/CEO, and houses a publishing, and licensing division, with a streaming service, emPawa Music.
emPawa Africa is an African talent incubation enterprise, known for nurturing and supporting up-and-coming artists. It offers mentorship to 100 African artists yearly, with a $3,000 (dollars) grant.
