Zylofon media, a creative arts and entertainment conglomerate, has signed gospel songstress Joyce Blessing, as its first gospel artiste on the record label.
At a press briefing held at the company’s premises at East Legon in Accra on Wednesday, 28th June, 2017, the Head of Communications for Zylofon Media, Samuel Atuobi Baah said the label had signed a four-year contract with the artistes.
“We are signing a four-year deal with Joyce Blessing and Obibini. It’s a complete record deal – and when I say ‘a complete record deal’ it includes distribution, promotion, production and marketing as well. We’ve also given them goodwill money that they will need for their personal running,” Mr. Baah disclosed.
He added that Joyce had been given a brand new Hyundai Sonata car together with accommodation. He further stated that the company would require of the artistes to produce four albums within the four year period, barring any problems.
In their response, Obibini and Joyce Blessing thanked the company for signing them on and promised their fans to expect greater music works from them.
When asked if Joyce Blessing broke away from Media Excel before negotiating for the Zylofon deal, she explained that she actually got into Zylofon after she had parted with Media Excel.
“I had stopped working with Media Excel before negotiating this deal with Zylofon – and let me correct that I did not leave Media Excel. They decided not to work with me again,” Joyce stated.
Joyce Blessing is noted for songs like ‘Heavy Price,’ ‘Mensei Da,’ ‘Nyame Aguama,’ the latest ‘Agye Bum,’ among others.
