Singer Elijah Kitaka has put pen to paper on a long term contract to become the first male artist signed by Swangz Avenue, the record label has announced.
Being one of the top recognised stakeholders in the music industry in the country, the Industrial Area- based record label has been able to produce, nature and mentor several brands of talents with high-quality records of music and to this, they have in the past signed, mostly female musicians including Azawi, Vinka, Winnie Nwagi and Zafaran .
However, this has changed with the signing of multi-talented musician, lyricist, records producer and a top notch drummer, Elijah Kitaka.
According to the record label, one of their goals is to ensure they turn Kitaka into a truly global superstar from the pearl of Africa.
They said there is a bigger plan and vision for Kitaka and that this kicks off this very year.
Kitaka's unveiling comes with the announcement of his brand new highly anticipated single, 'Nothing'
