Blue Pie is proud to welcome yet another artist of such esteem. The Blue Pie sync team will be working with tekno and his management team to seek out film and tv placements. This is a brilliant opportunity, and will lead to a new golden era for Blue Pie and Tekno- the chance to spread some of the greatest music on the planet even further to the audiences that deserve to hear it! But with that said, it’d be pretty hard to have missed a Beyoncé album, especially one that’s a companion album to a recent Triple A Disney film. Africa’s all-stars are featured in the album, and several names jump out just from the tracklist alone!

Kelechukwu Augustine, aka Tekno, aka The Golden Boy Of Africa has made a pretty big splash, not that he wasn’t big in the African music scene already, and we’re very glad to be working with such an artist. It helps make the music industry that more vibrant and lively, after all! Tekno has won and been nominated for multiple awards, and for good reason.

• At the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards, he was nominated for “Best New Act Of The Year”
• At the 2015 9th Nigeria Music Video Awards, “Duro” won the award for “Best Pop Extra Video”
• At the 2016 Nigeria Entertainment Awards, “Duro” was nominated for “Hottest Single” and “Best Music Video Of The Year”, and Tekno was nominated for “Afropop Artist of the Year”
• At the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards, Tekno won the award for “Best Newe Act”
• At the 2016 WatsUp TV Africa Music Video Awards, “Pana” was nominated for “African Video of the Year”, “Best African Male Video”, “Best West African Video”, and “Best Afro Pop Video”
• At the 2017 BET Awards, Tekno was nominated for “Best International Act Africa”

So as you can see, the clout he brings to the table in his music isn’t just for show, and he has what it takes to back it up! Tekno featuring on Beyoncé’s amazing album is just the tip of the iceberg, and to find out more about the Golden Boy Of Africa, more info is but a click away…
