Renowned Nigerian artist and producer Tekno has officially signed a groundbreaking deal with emPawa Africa, the innovative label services company founded by musical impresario Mr Eazi.
This landmark collaboration will see Tekno’s Cartel Music releasing new music through emPawa Africa. Additionally, Tekno will become a shareholder in emPawa Africa during its next capital call round, joining Grammy-winning music producer Michaël Brun as an investor in the African-owned company established by Mr Eazi in 2018.

Mr Eazi announced the partnership via a brief statement on Twitter, saying, “With this deal with Tekno and Cartel Music, we are ushering in a new phase of emPawa. This phase will see us partnering with African artists at different stages of their careers who want to maintain financial and creative freedom, yet move from talent for hire to equity participation. It’s a first-of-its-kind deal for afrobeats.”
Tekno also expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “This alliance with emPawa will provide an avenue to be a game-changer for the African music industry and a beacon of opportunity for artists.”
