AFTER years of entertaining music buffs with hit songs like Juliana, Oriaku, Mama & Papa, Tony Okoroji is set to return to mainstream music again.
This time, the Locomotion crooner has targeted early next year as the right time to release his comeback signature, Happy Music.
Though many might have questions about his return to a highly competitive and talent replete music industry, the extra-ordinary manager of men who made PMAN, a household name and established COSON as a multi-million-naira institution and one of Africa’s most respected copyright collective management organizations, has gone back to the making of music which in the first place brought him to national limelight.
Tony Okoroji’s “Happy Music” will be released on his TOPS label which has also assembled an incredibly talented crop of young Nigerian songwriters, singers and producers.
The renowned songwriter, performer, author and copyright guru had been spending countless hours in the recording studios since the last one year as he is set to redefine the music scene in Nigeria in 2017 and beyond.
Speaking to Saturday Tribune Okoroji says he is confident that“Happy Music” will answer the question in everyone’s minds.
- He said, “I have a lot of experience but my creative energy is still very young and strong. In the recording studios, I have been working with a lot of young people and we are cross pollinating ideas all the time.
- “In ‘Happy Music’, my old fans will find a lot to celebrate in the unique sound that has brought us together these many years and those who were not part of the groove will be hooked.
- “When ‘Happy Music’ drops, there will be a lot of singing and dancing. What I wish is that people will get the music properly and not resort to piracy or illegal downloads which is why TOPS and GREEBEE Mobile signed the recent distribution agreement to make sure that the music of TOPS is everywhere and everyone can get our music legitimately. I wish everyone happy listening, happy dancing and happy enjoyment of ‘Happy Music’”.
