Speaking on the signing, Akon said; “I’m honored to be able
to add Nektunez to the KONVICT movement”. I’ve never met a more humble,
hardworking, and talented producer like Nektunez. I was even more impressed by
his artistic talents! He represents the new Africa and I’m determined to show
the world his contribution to the beautiful sounds of Afrobeat and Amapiano”
Nektunez
in his speech expressed his excitement for this new development in his career.
“I am excited to start my next
chapter with Akon; someone I have always looked up to growing up. He shares my
vision and has a passion for the brand of music I’m creating. I can’t wait to
continue sharing my music on a global scale. Now it’s time to go to work and I
can’t wait to see what we accomplish together,” he said.
Kudos brother, keep making us proud.
