Funmi Ayinke launches record label, signs three artistes

Popular musician and philanthropist, Dr Waheed Adekojo Funmilayo simply known as Funmi Ayinke recently launched a record label and signed three talented artists in Lagos.

The artists; Victory Patrick Omonaye a.k.a Omohsoke; Chibuike Timothy Onwuka a.k.a Timsingz; and Bamiduro Oluwayemisi Odunayo a.k.a Conffyghold who were carefully selected from a handful of talents at the disposal of Dr Funmilayo were delighted to have signed a two-year contract with the world-class record label.

According to her, apart from having the music talent, she saw the need to go into music when it was discovered that many Nigerian youths don’t read but prefer to listen to songs. Hence, every of her motivational speech was put into her songs for the youth to listen to. In addition to this, she organizes several competitions on her Instagram page to get the youths to sing some of these songs and win money on a regular basis, which is very rare for any musician across the country.

She added that Funmi Ayinke Record Label started three months ago out of the need to create a platform to groom and promote some of the talents she discovered through the competition she organizes on her Instagram page as it has always been her thing to engage in humanitarian services in every sector of the society.

Funmi who started music during EndSARS said, “today is like a dream come true, having my label signing three artistes in Nigeria, this is doing what I love to do best, humanitarian services, bringing hope to the hopeless so they can make it.’’

According to her, the record label is not like the conventional record label, it’s more like a charity organization for music talents looking at the too-good-to-be-true deal. She made it known that while in the label, everything the artists make is totally for them, unlike the normal record label where artists have to give a certain percentage.

“We are giving them a contract of two years, if they are able to make enough money, I will release them but if they are not able to, we sign them again till they are able to make it.”

While speaking with the signed artists, they described Engr. Dr Waheed Adekojo Funmilayo was an angel who came through for them when they needed one.
