Akon is going global and has opened an office in London for his Konvict Muzik record label. “We will be scanning Europe and Africa for the next mega superstars,” says Melvin Brown, CEO and co-owner of Konvict Muzik. “When Akon and I partnered and created Konvict Muzik, we agreed that we would have the hottest artists on our roster. I have concentrated on diversifying the artist roster and creating an international presence. I personally look for unique artists.”
According to Allhiphop.com, Brown confirmed the signing of two new international groups: the Reggae/R&B/Hip-Hop trio American Yard and Dutch boy band GLOWB.
Akon’s album “Konvicted” will be out in the spring.

HI, MR. AKON,, I,VE GOT 2 FEMALE R&B ARTISTS, FOR YOUR LABEL’
AMBER,
A NEW 17 YEAR FEMALE R&B ARTIST,
WHO HAS A ANGELIC VOICE’ HER NOTES ARE PURE, AND ON POINT. SHE ALSO,
HAS RANGE’ BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ‘AMBER’
AZ ONE
There’s a subtle anxiety going through the music industry. With groups
such as Destiny’s Child calling it quits, who’s going to represent for
the single, young ladies of the world? The answer is summed up in two
words… Az One, composed of sisters, Ayanna and Niambi, Az One will
captivate you first with their drop-dead gorgeous looks, then with a
talent they’ve been crafting since they sang and performed in church
choirs and musicals across the Midwest.

After my post-primary education, I now decided to join a musical crew. Inorder to develop a talent which has been in me since childhood. Besides, a humble person in nature.
I Shakara is a single soul seeking and searching for a music Industry. Some music had been recorded now infact I have mix it for the public to enjoy. With a single effort of mine. Therefore I deem it necessary henceforth to write an application to be under your music industry.

The target is to reach the zenith that is to bring a world award to our motherland Africa-Nigeria. Do think of it and send me your reply. You will never regret in signing me into your music industry.

Hmm… to whom it may concern, somtimes when i have an idea, i think am the only one that has it, but before i know it, i would see another person that has the same.
My conclusion is that, even if we do it the same way, we cannot get the same result.
Am Multi-talented, i deserve Mtv awards, even greater ones.
I looked at myself and say if my Dad could tell me this, that means, I can.
If am not signed AKON, HE could probably hook me up with a favorable option. they call me K N U A. +2348038556060
Holla!
