Pop-highlife singer-producer Martins Okey better known as JMartins has signed a management deal with power house, talent management company Now Muzik.
Martins joins the likes of 2Face Idibia, T.W.O, Sunny Neji and Timi Dakolo who are also signed to the management company.
‘Basically, JMartins needs a management team that can plan his itinerary and tours and engagements. We had a meeting and we just hit it off right away. He’s a super talented artiste’, says Tony Anifite, COO of Now Muzik.
Martins who has released two albums ‘Get Serious’ and ‘Elevated’ is set to release his third installment ‘Selah’ (which is Hebrew for ‘Pause and think’) in a few weeks. The album according to his new management will contain 12 tracks.
‘The bar has been raised. So I believe it is time for us to pause and think on ways to generally up our game’, says Martins.
The singer tied the knot with his wife fiancée Nnezi Diana Mbila in January 2012.
Okay guys, better believe this: someone has stolen Terry G‘s heart.
The singer-producer-performer is so many different things to different people: mad man, beat jacker, song stealer, swagger king, akpako master, or restless hitmaker. Now, he’s soon going to be a husband to someone – and he’s kicked off the process already.
Nigerian Entertainment Today has gathered, reliably, that Terry, whose real names are Gabriel Amanyi and his long time partner Mimi are taking their relationship further, after years of dating.
Terry we’re told, has already overhauled his Lagos home (a three-bedroom apartment in Iju), putting everything in place for the comfort of his wife-to-be. And last month, the pair traveled to Benin with few friends and family members, for a traditional marriage ceremony that caught Terry’s friends by surprise. ’I was shocked when I heard‘ one very close friend tells us. Says another ‘I heard from a mutual friend and I later visited him to find out. I’m happy for both of them‘.
Terry’s bride Mimi is a Lagos-based ‘big girl’ (exact words of those who know her) whose mom lives in Benin. We’re told her father is late. She’s the couple’s only child and, according to our findings, the main beneficiary of their wealth.
Although Terry’s background is different- having not being born into privilege- he’s by no means a gold-digger. The 25 year-old has worked his way to where he’s at; and he’s earned enough to belong to the millionaires’ club. He told friends last year he prefers his partner even after a couple of on-and-offs. Onekey advantage: she doesn’t play in the entertainment field and is away from all the ‘magic and the madness’ that come with her hubby’s job.
‘She’s a great girl. She was there with him and for him when he had that accident. I believe they’ll make a great couple. I think she’s the stability that Gabriel needs‘, a source, who claims the pair already have both parents’ blessings, tells us.
Speaking with Don T a director at Now Muzik, Terry’s management company, he confirmed that the singer indeed has a fiancée. ‘Yes, his fiancées name is Mimi and we are hoping they get married soon‘, Don T told our reporter in a telephone conversation. But he (Don T) played down the news of Terry’s traditional marriage saying that the singer only travelled to Benin to shoot two videos.
And speaking on his house in Iju, he explained ‘Terry has almost finished his house in Iju, it’s still developing but will be completed soon‘, Don T added. No word yet on a proper wedding date.
Terry G emerged in the music scene back in 2008 and released his debut ‘Free Me‘ the following year. After a series of features and production for artistes, he rose to fame with the release of the hit single ‘Free madness’ off the ‘Ginjah ur swaggah season 1′ album.
He recently released his third album ‘Terry Gzuz‘ under his TGP Entertainment label.
