Rema and DPrince
Globally acclaimed superstar Rema has given honour to whom it is due.
The Afrorave pioneer made a gratitude post to his benefactor, Charles Enebeli aka D’Prince
In his short appreciation post via his Twitter handle, he acknowledged DPrince as the instrument that changed his life
According to the Rave lord, he wouldn’t have been existing musically if the Jonzing World boss had not found him.
Sharing a photo with his boss-cum-benefactor which captured them holding two of his musical plaques, Rema wrote: “Without D’prince they’ll be no me. @DPRINCEMAVIN. (sic)”
In 2019, Rema signed a record deal with Jonzing World, a subsidiary of Mavin Records
He rose to stardom with the release of the song “Dumebi”.
In May 2021, the 22-year-old music star announced he will be calling his sound “Afrorave”, a subgenre of Afrobeats with influences of Arabian and Indian music which has led to him having one of the strongest fanbases across the continent known as Ravers.
After Rema signed a record deal with Jonzing World in 2019, he released his debut EP Rema.
Later that summer, one of his other most popular songs from the EP gained more popularity when it was placed on former president of the United States of America, Barack Obama’s summer playlist.
After two more EPs, he released his debut album Rave & Roses on 25 March 2022.
The album includes 16 tracks and features from 6lack, Chris Brown, AJ Tracey, and Yseult. It charted 10 songs on the US Billboard Afrobeats Chart following its debut week.
His single “Calm Down”, including a sample from fellow Nigerian artist Crayon’s track “So Fine”, then began charting five months after its official release
On August 26, 2022, he released a remix of his song “Calm Down” with Selena Gomez which debuted at number 91 on Billboard Hot 100. (Via The Nation)
