Tekno Joins Mr. Eazi’s emPawa Africa as Investor & Partner


Tekno also released "Wayo," his first single of 2024, on Thursday (May 23) that he wrote and produced with ShugaVybz.

“This phase will see us partnering with African artists at different stages of their career who want to maintain financial and creative freedom, yet move from talent for hire to equity participation. The “Pana” hitmaker — whom Billie Eilish once declared was her “favorite artist” in a 2019 Vanity Fair interview — will become an investor in emPawa in its next capital call round, joining Haitian DJ/producer Michaël Brun as another creative who has invested in Mr. Eazi’s innovative, full-service company that’s been offering marketing, distribution, publishing, label and management services since its inception in 2018. emPawa Africa has worked with African artists like Joeboy, Major League Djz, Fave, King Promise, Minz and more. “This strategic alliance with emPawa promises to be a game changer for the African music industry and a beacon of opportunity for artists,” adds Tekno.
