American singer and songwriter, Akon and Nigeria’s music video director, Cardoso Olayinka, popularly known as Mr. C, have been putting finishing touches to a new music video production that would soon be out on the music scene.
In the last few days, Akon and Cardoso have been putting heads together on new projects that would put the music industry on another scale when it is finally released. Akon is not new to working with Nigerian artistes but this time around, he’s trusting Cardoso to handle his new videos.
The songs, Low Key and Loco, were written by Akon, who flew into Nigeria some weeks back to work with Cardoso, whose profile has been rising having worked with top Nigerian music stars in the last five years.
Mr. C, apart from shooting music videos, has earned himself accolades following his involvement in the shooting of TV series, drama, documentaries, among others.

Akon, who often provides vocals as a featured artiste and is credited with over 300 guest appearances and more than 35 Billboard Hot 100 songs, resulting to five Grammy Awards nominations, has also worked with top Nigerian music stars from the defunct Psquare to Davido, among others.
Shot on locations in Lagos, Akon said he decided to work with Mr. C on his latest projects because he’s one of the most respected music video directors whose dexterity and deep knowledge of the job had given him the edge over others.
Speaking with R in Lagos at the location of the video shoot, Akon said “I am excited to be working with Cardoso. We are working on two new music videos and I trust that he would give his best as always.”
