A new wave of energy is hitting Nigeria’s dynamic music industry, and at its centre is MOJO RECORDS, an emerging record label with a bold vision to redefine talent development in Afrobeats and Afro-fusion.
Founded by music executive Osaigbovo Thompson Samson, MOJO RECORDS is positioning itself as a talent-focused label aimed at nurturing authentic African voices while pushing for global recognition. The label is already making headlines with its lead act, TyTunz, whose genre-blending sound is gaining steady traction both at home and abroad.
TyTunz, born Oladipupo Oluwatoyosi Samuel in Benin City, Edo State, embodies the label’s ethos of resilience and originality. From recording in the legendary Sir Victor Uwaifo’s studio to financing his own music sessions through side gigs, his story reflects the grit behind his growing success.
Since releasing his debut track “Jeje”, the singer-songwriter has steadily built a loyal fanbase. His sound—a fusion of Afrobeats, reggae, and highlife—is fast becoming his signature, marked by emotive storytelling and rich African rhythms laced with contemporary flair.
Speaking on the label’s mission, founder Samson said MOJO RECORDS is “not just a label, but a movement focused on building sustainable music careers.” The label is investing heavily in artist branding, strategic music positioning, and long-term career growth, with a focus on empowering African talent to compete on the world stage.
As MOJO RECORDS expands its reach, TyTunz remains its flagship act, symbolizing the label’s commitment to excellence and innovation. With plans to break new ground in the global music scene, the label is determined to influence culture, produce iconic sounds, and leave a lasting legacy in the African music industry.
Industry watchers say MOJO RECORDS is one to watch, and with talents like TyTunz leading the charge, the future indeed looks promising for this rising powerhouse.
