Nigerian-born music artist Samklef, whose real name is
Samuel Oguachuba, signed with mega superstar Akon for
a multi-record deal with KonLive Records.
“Samklef was signed to KonLive because he is the best
all-around entertainer from Nigeria,” said Akon who tops
the 2017 list of richest African musicians according to
Forbes Africa and known for launching the careers of
superstars Lady Gaga and T-Pain. “Everything Samklef
touches turns to gold and I expect his first single, “Philo”
to quickly climb the charts once it is released in 2017.”

Samklef, a multi-talented music artis,
producer, DJ and
video director hails from Imo State, but was born and
bred in Lagos – Nigeria. “Life on the Nigerian streets
amidst the harsh survival conditions of the typical African
ghetto made me business savvy and a realist,” said
Samklef. “The opportunity to be part of Akon’s camp and
learn from the greatest in the music and business world
is an honor.”
Before he took the leap of faith to leave his home country
and head to the USA, Samklef worked as a music
producer, with some of the biggest in Nigeria’s music
industry including Sunny Neji, Ruggedman, Durella, Simi,
Wizkid, Skales, D’Prince, Jahdiel, Ice Prince, Olamide, and
Vector to mention a few. “I was one of the producer’s
behind RCA record label Wizkid’s path to success,” he
said. Samklef produced 6 records on Wizkid’s successful
debut album, “Superstar,” that sky rocketed him to
international success.
“My team as very impressed with Samklef’s
professionalism. He has worked with Sound Factory,
Flow Records, Smashers Records, Back 2 Black,
Mindfalls, Exp & i360 and S.O & U.,” said Rozina Negusei,
CEO of En-Treeg Records and Akon’s wife. “He a certified
hitmaker, has great stage presence and is a master at
engaging any music-loving crowd.”
Samklef’s debut album titled, “NONI” was released in
2010 followed by an international edition titled,
“NONILIZING”, released in January 2011. He spans
several years in the entertainment industry and the
outcome is vast experience, which can only be garnered
by working with some of the best hands in every field. His
influences include international producers and artists –
Timbaland and Kanye West, as well as his industry
colleagues – Don Jazzy and Tuface.
