Nakaaya SumariTANZANIAN SONGBIRD NAKAAYA SIGNED TO SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT
An icon of contemporary Tanzanian music, Nakaaya, has been signed to Sony Music Entertainment. Among the record label’s well-known subsidiaries are Columbia Records, RCA Records and Epic records, just to mention a few.
Nakaaya, who has acquired a large following and growing fan base across the region, now makes history by being the first East African artist ever to be signed to the second largest record company in the world.
The company’s roster includes internationally-acclaimed artists such as Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Chris Brown, Sean Kingston and many more.
The signing took place when Nakaaya was attending the "Music’s Relevance in Third World Countries" Conference, in Copenhagen, Denmark, in late 2008. Sony Music Entertainment spotted the Tanzanian artist during an interview with "Deadline," on the prominent Danish television channel, "DR2," and immediately sought to sign her up for a recording deal.
"We are very excited by having signed Nakaaya to our company. She’s an extremely talented artist and we look forward to working with her in the future", comments Peter Groenbaek, Sony Music, on the signing.
After having burst onto the Tanzanian and East African music scene just two years ago, Nakaaya’s popularity and recognition as one of the Region’s top artists continues to grow, and her being signed by a major player in the international music business is a milestone for her career and the East African music industry as a whole. This historic signing is also a testimony to her talent and capability.
The lyrical content of Nakaaya’s music is inspired by social issues that have on-the-ground relevance to Tanzanian, East African and indeed African audiences, with a particular skew towards women and the plights of their everyday lives.
Her musical style is influenced largely by Hip Hop, R&B and some Afro flavour, and is essentially a well-rounded depiction of Bongo Flava.

Nakaaya CONGRATULATIONS
ReplyDeleteLoads of kisses and hugs
Wadau
Jijini London
Nakaaya hii video kali sana, feelings kibao,environment bomba, rating ni universal, sound quality 5.1 digital surrounding.
ReplyDeleteIla nashangaa ktk Youtube video 'Matatizo' imepata views kama 5,600 tu. Bila shaka hata mtu asiyeelewa kiswahili atavutiwa tu. Sasa kukuza kazi hii ipate view zaidi ya 100,000 tufanzeje wadau?
Mie nadhani labda wasanii wa Tz watangulie jina kubwa Tanzania ili kazi zao ziibuke kirahisi ktk hii massive archive ya YOUTUBE.
Mfano Nakaaya video yako ungei-'tag':Tanzania- Nakaaya- Matatizo. Na ikafuantiwa na TAG: Tanzania music-Nakaaya.......
Kwa kufuata staili hii ya kutanguliza na kujibainisha na TZ kina wasanii wote kazi zenu zitaibuka kirahisi hata kama watu wa dunia au Tanzania hawamjui Nakaaya, BananaZoro,AY,FiqD n.k ni kina nani kimuziki, yaani mtakuwa mmebebwa na jina kubwa ktk SEARCH ENGINE ya Youtube.
Wabongo inabidi muwe makini na hizi dili. Wanamuziki wengi wa Marekani ni maarufu tu lakini ni masikini wa kutupwa. Wengi wao hivi sana wanaingia mikataba na makampuni madogo kwani hayo makampuni makubwa uwezekano wa kupata angalau $1 kwa copy inayouzwa ni mdogo sana.
ReplyDeleteHebu angalia msururu wa watu wanaosubiri hela yako.
1. Recording Studio
2. Distributors
3. Label
4. Media
5. etc
Hiyo SONY ni Entertainment Company, wao hawawezi eti kuchukua kazi iliyopikwa na Mjani, itabidi aende kwenye Recording Company zilizo chini ya Sony kama Epic etc. Waiting list kwenye hizo kampuni ni mara kumi ya huyu Majani sasa sijui lini angalau atapata release date. Kuna watu SONY sasa hivi wana release date 2010. Mtu unaishia kuwa mashuhuri tu. Wewe jiulize ni kivipi mtu aliyefikisha Platinum kwenye mauzo anafisika?
Hiyo ni picha ya ujumla lakini kwa upande wa Nakaaya nadhani hiyo ni hatua kubwa sana kwani SONY ni bora mara millioni kuliko wahindi.
for sho,
ReplyDeleteMbeba box, kiwanja.
OH MY GOD! Again OH MY GOD! Thanks for whoever talked about the matatizo video. Nilikuwa sijawahi kuiona. Beautiful Beautiful voice, song and video. Dada ana kipaji kweli. I was on the verge of tears. Naeza kuongea na kuongea lakini most people can relate to well no matter what your matatizo are.
ReplyDeleteGO GO GO....HUSTLE MONEY, FAME AND EVERYTHING FOR UR AND OUR BETTERMENT SISTER!!!!!!!!!
