Two artistes – Evelle and Buckwylla – have emerged the first set of recording artistes signed by ACI Records, a subsidiary of ACI Entertainment.
Although the two acts were recently unveiled at the official launch of the company, they are not new entrants in the Nigerian music industry. While Evelle, who won the fourth edition of the Nigerian Idol reality show has been up and doing with her career, Buckwylla has released several songs and done major collaborations in the past with the likes of Olamide, Cartiar, among others.
Speaking during the launch, the CEO of the company, Wole Adeniyi, said the fundamental philosophy behind the creation of the company was to provide a breeding ground for the best professionals in music and film technology.
“To create this entertainment destination is a dream come true for all of us,” said Adeniyi.
“Our mission is to empower the creative minds in the continent of Africa but to achieve these ends, we need more than philosophy. We need a training ground; we need facilities, equipment and then, a platform. Our hope is that ACI will provide that platform for our entertainment community.”
Speaking on the choice of the two new artistes, the COO of the company, Ikechukwu Onuorah said the two artistes are full of talents and he believes ACI can further help develop their talents and put them on the international stage.
