The search for KinQs (Kings and Queens) of Lagos has begun in earnest. And if found, the rewards for the ‘royalties’ are damn huge!
The announcement for the amazing search was made at a music conference/banquet themed: ‘Kennis Music Bites’ organised by Kennis Music and held on Wednesday, July 27, 2022 at Marriott Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
Speaking at the event, Kenny Ogungbe’s sibling, ID Ogungbe, said “the search for the biggest Nigerian entertainer – musician, comedian and actor – will be determined by the fans while the three top crowned KinQs will be rewarded with N1 billion, N500 million and N250 million respectively.”
The music conference had a music discussion segment and engagement. And aside the KinQs of Lagos search, which is tagged: ‘The Next Episode’, the Kennis Music conglomerate led by the founder/chairman of Kennis 104 FM, Kenny ‘Keke’ Ogungbe, also unveiled some of the scheduled activities of the music powerhouse in 2022 and beyond. These include Kennis Music Festival, KinQs of Lagos search, social gifting, and unveiling of a payment platform that leverages music and all logic of engagements to celebrate mobile consumers.
Ogungbe equally announced the collaboration between Kennis Music and affiliate brands that include Parallex Bank and The Place to produce a gold card that will serve as a multipurpose lifestyle debit card, and which can be used at different places.
“With the Music Bites Conference, it is our belief that by the end of the day, participants have been able to fully harness the new and existing opportunities available in the music space and entertainment industry as a whole,” Kenny Ogungbe said.
On his part, ID Ogungbe analysed the plan to hold the 22nd edition of Kennis Music Festival and collaboration with leading music acts that will perform at the event.
“We would be holding the Kennis Music Festival and this would come in parts. The first will be Sunset Over Lagos, Sunset Over Abuja, Sunset Over Port Harcourt, and the last will be Sunset Over Campuses where we will be taking over the Nigerian campuses,” he explained.
ID also revealed Kennis Music’s entry into music distribution. He, however, pointed out that the music company isn’t going into competition with existing streaming companies, but will be distributing music for several music acts, using a new found technology.
Dignitaries at the event included Chief (Mrs) Mojisola Dokpesi, Olufemi Bakre, Paul Ogeah, Dayo ‘D1’ Adeneye, MCSN’s boss, Mayo Ayilaran, AFRIMA’s boss, Mike Dada, Kingsley James, alongside entertainers like Mr. Macaroni, Praiz, Eedris Abdulkareem, Zaki Adzee, Felix Duke, and Nasty Blaq amongst others.
