BFA and Co Legal Facilitates Historic Collaboration: Davido Partners with UnitedMasters to Launch Nine+ Records
BFA and Co Legal, a prominent entertainment and business law firm, is thrilled to announce the successful negotiation and finalization of a groundbreaking deal between Afrobeats sensation Davido and UnitedMasters for the establishment of Nine+ Records.
This significant collaboration represents a pivotal moment in Davido's career, marking his transition from a chart-topping artist to a fully-fledged music industry executive.
Nine+ Records aims to emerge as a dominant force in the global music scene, nurturing talent not only in Afrobeats but across diverse genres.
The inception of Nine+ Records traces back to the 2023 UnitedMasters SelectCon event, where Davido forged a crucial connection with Steve Stoute, the chairman of UnitedMasters. Recognizing Davido's exceptional talent and drive, Stoute challenged him to envision a label capable of rivaling industry giants.
Davido, renowned for his commitment to fostering new talent, embraced the idea wholeheartedly. Nine+ Records symbolizes an opportunity for him to empower the next wave of artists while solidifying his legacy as a trailblazer in the music industry.
"Nurturing emerging talent has always been a passion of mine," says Davido. "I've been doing it since before Afrobeats was even recognized as a genre."
Yet, Davido acknowledges the importance of mentorship. Steve Stoute's wealth of experience will prove invaluable as Davido navigates the intricacies of the music business.
BFA and Co Legal underscores the significance of a robust team and a well-structured foundation for the success of any new label. While acknowledging Davido's immense talent, BFA recognizes the necessity of a sturdy framework to ensure long-term prosperity.
"Bobo Ajudua, CEO of BFA and Co Legal and Davido’s manager, played a pivotal role in securing this historic deal," says Ima Elijah, spokesperson for BFA and Co Legal. "We have full confidence that Davido's vision, coupled with Steve Stoute's expertise and a formidable team, will propel Nine+ Records to global acclaim."
BFA and Co Legal's adept negotiation and execution of this deal underscore their proficiency in entertainment law and their dedication to supporting the aspirations of visionary artists like Davido.
The firm remains committed to shaping the future of the African and global music industries.
