P-Square to Sign Predy X
Square Records and Northside Entertainment is
said to be closing in on Ghanaian Afro-pop singer, Samuel Omane-Mensah
aka Predy X, barely two months after parting ways with May D. The duo who parted ways with May D over "irreconcilable differences",
is reported to be keen on getting the highly-rated Ghanaian youngster
into its fold. It was reported that CEO of Square Records and Northside
Entertainment, Jude 'Engees' Okoye said the deal was expected to be
concluded in the "coming days".
Bayo Adetu, publicist for Square Records, which features the talented
music duo P-Square, is reported to have told a Nigerian magazine,
'Entertainment Today' that their pursuit of Predy X was due to his
versatile music talent.
Predy X is said to have been discovered when a top producer mentioned
him in a discussion, there after, the management of the label assessed
and decided to give him a chance.
The young Ghanaian who is signed on to X Entertainment, is expected
to move his base to Nigeria to agree to terms of Square Records, with
the latter keen on avoiding the same mistake that led to its separation
with May D.
Currently, Predy X's 'Dance With My Baby' is enjoying massive play in pubs and nightclubs in Nigeria and Ghana.
The 25-year-old musician, a graduate of Ghana Institute of
Journalism, is optimistic that the deal will materialize as soon as
possible.
Predy X told 'Entertainment Today' that his hard work was finally
paying off. "I am sure what might have endeared me to Square Records is
my knack for performing with live bands rather than miming."
