Easily two of the biggest artists to come out of Africa, multi-platinum selling artist Davido recently signed a worldwide deal with Sony Music to release his long-awaited sophomore album, and is said to be working with the likes of Young Thug, Wale, Tinashe and Rae Sremmurd. Sarkodie, on the other hand, already has four albums under his belt, BET Award and MTV Africa Music Award wins among others, and recently gave a keynote lecture at Harvard University.
Moelogo, in his own right, is having an excitingly year so far, with his captivating artistry and musicianship, and the infectious sensibilities and captivating flavours in his music, putting Moelogo in excellent company with Davido and Sarkodie. The last few weeks has seen the rising star make his Boiler Room debut, support Wretch 32 and Avelino on their recent sold-out concert at KOKO, and will soon be announcing his debut headline concert in time for this summer.
Speaking about working with Davido and Sarkodie on the ‘Penkele’ remix, Moelogo says, “working with these two iconic artists and leading men of African music has been such a blessing for me. Just knowing that two artists I look up to loved the original and wanted to remix ‘Penkele’ with me is mind blowing. It just shows me that I’m moving in the right direction and I shouldn’t doubt myself, plus it speaks to the sentiment behind my entire Ìréti EP – belief and hope in my music”.
