Already, the music outfit has signed two young talents namely, Ifeanyichukwu Chigbo Kennedy (aka Verchi), and Franklin Ibe (aka F2) to hone their skills. “I am really interested in music, but I cannot do music; so l decided to invest in young vibrant talents, said Mbataku Chimaobi Clarke, the CEO of Dream Empire Music.

He reiterated that he has been nursing the idea of a record label for over 12 years. “I started little by little to see that the idea come to fulfillment. My aim is to see people with the same idea accomplished what I could not accomplish. I want them to accomplish their dream especially for those that have remarkable talent,” he said.

For the duo of Verchi and F2, it was a rigorous and painstaking effort to emerge the label’s shining stars in terms of character management, and with the caliber of singles already released by the artistes the youngsters will definitely rub shoulders with the established musicians in the country. “Everyone wants to achieve success in whatever field; I am actually tolling that line, and to see that my dream come through, I want to fulfill reality, and not just coming into reality, I want the music label to stay longer, and stronger. The music label will spread to Africa country giving the structure; I am going to work with other music label that are already on ground,” Clarke disclosed.

Verchi whose works have earned him a place in the music scene has worked with some notable artistes such as Seyi Shay, Skales, Omotola Jakande Ekehinde, Harrysong, is an Afrocentric R&B singer and songwriter. Born in the early 90s in Lagos State, he hails from Orumba South LGA in Anambra State. In 2014, Verchi won the Golden breakthrough competition which lead to his performance with several live bands. It helped him grow in his professionalism as an artiste.

Born in the early 90s, F2 is from Ehime Mbano, Imo state. Music started naturally with the young talent at a very tender age as he has always been an ardent lover of everything that has sound and produces beautiful noise, he fell in love with the guitar along the way and started exploring through the musical instrument as a minor. Immediately after his primary and secondary stage of education, he moved to Federal University of Technology, Owerri where he studied Prosthesis and Orthopedic Technology.

But while in school, F2 decided to push his musical prowess forward, which led to his weekend engagements, performing in clubs, bars, hotels, restaurants, playing his guitar and singing at the top of his voice just to wow audience and prove his talent is not anonymous.

He released his first official song titled ‘Gyration’. Gyration got street acceptance and opened way for F2, thereafter, he birthed other songs like, salute, Hapuchaa’ and his 2016 national anthem ‘Shima’.

His kind of genre differs from other artistes because of his uniquely gifted talent, he does Afrobeat, highlife and rap simultaneously and flawlessly. F2 would have excelled in the movie or modelling industry should music didn’t work for him, he is creatively gifted in the art industry.

He is signed to Dream Empire Music, where he released his last single ‘Overdose’, which is currently enjoying airplay across the country.
