ENTERTAIMENT:Billboard features Tekno as next Nigerian star to break into North America
MMMG artiste, Tekno has again been recognized by Billboard Magazine.
I an article below, Tekno tells the magazine about the influence of his hit song ‘Pana’ and ‘Duro’ on his career. He said, “I started traveling heavy, my fee went up, more girls, more attention. That was: he’s bad and he’s here to stay.”
One of his singles, titled "Pana," has gone on to entrap other listeners the same way it conquered its creator, accumulating 30 million streams between YouTube and Spotify.
Veterans like Trey Songz and Ludacris have posted clips of themselves listening to the song on Instagram, and "Pana" also caught the attention of Imran Majid, senior vice president of A&R at Columbia, who signed the track and re-released it in December.
Tekno's connection with Columbia is the latest step forward in an inch-by-inch acknowledgement of the commercial viability of Nigerian pop in the U.S.
