Since then he had the opportunity to work with the likes Jidenna, Adekunle Gold, Simi, Gospelonthebeat ,Seyi Shay and many more.

Jujuboy Star is the first artist to be signed to the recently formed partnership between African powerhouse Aristokrat Records and Universal Music Group.

We are glad to finally be introducing him to the world”.
