By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 17 July 2018
Warner/Chappell in the UK has signed Nigerian artist, songwriter and producer Odunsi (The Engine) to one of those worldwide publishing deals you all love so much. Odunsi has garnered plenty of acclaim for his Afro-fusion sound, which mashes together Afrobeat, electonica, R&B, reggae and other genres. Having released EP ‘Time Of Our Lives’ and a number of singles, he is now working on a debut album.
Confirming the signing, Warner/Chappell UK A&R Director Amber Davis said: “Odunsi is a fresh and impressive young talent. He has shaken up the music scene in Nigeria and is now attracting global attention. The music he is writing sounds incredibly unique and I’m excited to see how he’ll grow as a songwriter here with us at Chappell”.
Odunsi himself added: “I’m really pleased to be joining the roster at Warner/Chappell and can’t wait to work with Amber who has such an amazing reputation for helping songwriters. I’ve always made music in collaboration with others and am looking forward to working more with songwriters from around the world”.
