Roc Nation, An American Entertainment company owned by Jay Z has Sarkodie as one of it’s next targets.
Director of Mobile Strategies at the label, Briant ‘Bee-High’ Biggs in an exclusive interview told US based Celebrity Blogger Makho Ndlovu “”We are going country by country. I am already talking to Sarkodie in Ghana to do something with him. I got something in Gambia, Gabon and Senegal. We have it all spread out. Even in South Africa I am grabbing one artist out of there.”
Biggs is tasked with discovering new talents (to the American music market) around the world for Roc Nation to work with. The label months ago signed a distribution deal with Tiwa Savage, making her the first Africa act to join the company.
Should the deal go through like Tiwa Savage’s deal, Sarkodie will be given proper distribution in the States and Roc Nation will make sure that Sarkodie will be getting proper publishing dollars and royalties.
“So by using our platform that we already built, we are giving them access to everything we have at our office to help them do the same. Build their brands and their companies like we did ours.” Biggs concluded.
