To set the record straight
@ar_records
did not have any label execs present at the session that “On The Low” was written or recorded. While a gifted songwriter

was not engaged to write nor did he write “On The Low”.
How it Started || How it’s going
When a Grammy winning producer tells you to check out an artist, you do just that. Thank you 👑
@OfficialLeriQ
for unearthing this Gem🙏🏽
I mastered “Pree Me” by

myself .. Didn’t like the final master the engineer sent .. Took me about 20 tries to get it to where I was comfortable with
Burna Boy's On The Low has crossed 100m Spotify streams, becoming one of the most streamed Afrobeats songs on the platform.
Burna just keeps winning. 🏆😍
2020 has been an extreme experience for us all. Personally, I’ve been at both ends of the spectrum. I’ve laughed hard, I’ve cried, I’ve gained, and I’ve lost immensely.
We are doing what needs to be done for us to have our own table ..not just a seat at the table. I want to thank the team at
@UniversalMG
for understanding our vision and working with us to take our Creatives and Culture to the global stage.

The beauty of collaborative efforts is always greater than that of individual excellence. To be honest great things are never done by one person. A team is always involved.
Introducing our first artist signed to Aristokrat Publishing.

If you wish to discuss this further or ask any other questions about the music business I’ll be taking over
@AR_Records
Instagram page all day tomorrow. Hope to see you there
Today, I resumed a new role as: Associate Product Marketing Manager at Google.
I'll continue working on supporting small businesses & youth across Africa through Google's impactful projects & products.
My vision for Aristokrat wasn’t just music.. I wanted to build the biggest African entertainment company/Brand in the world .. I told my friend from Zimbabwe I was going to bigger than Disney ..She thought I had lost my mind. Music seemed like the best place to start this journey
Thank you. So when you started Aristokrat, what was your initial vision? How did you go about setting up your first team and deciding who to sign?

Major shoutout to
@GodwinTom
for leading the charge to educate the next generation of music business professionals and entrepreneurs .. Glad to contributed my little 2 cents to this
If it wasn’t for
@PeediPicasso
(Aristokrat records) there would be no BURNA BOY. That shit is for life that’s why I got the Aristokrat records tattoo on my Left arm.
I usually stay away from eulogizing or posting obituaries on Social Media but Majek Fashek was the soundtrack to my childhood and his music and story influenced me greatly
