Mercelo Gustavo signs musician, Mobolaji

Audio-video production company, Mercelo Gustavo, has penned down a recording deal with musician, Mobolaji.

Mobolaji’s contract signing took place on Wednesday inside Mercelo Gustavo’s studio premises in Lagos.

The stage-trained talent was ecstatic and grateful to the management of Mercelo Gustavo for believing in his potential as a musician.

Mobolaji started music from childhood as he was born into a musical family and started performing on stage very early in life.

On the signing, Mobolaji said: “I am so excited and I don’t know where to start. I have been working with Mercelo Gustavo underground on songs that inspire and encourage the mind because that is what Nigerians need now.

“I want to touch not just the feet of those who listen to my music but more importantly to touch their hearts and inspire them to believe they can make it in life no matter the odds. My kind of music is called ‘inspirational-highlife’ because I inspire and heal with music.”

Mobolaji, whose full name is Mobolaji Okotore, plays virtually every instrument including vocals.

He is also a music producer and has in-depth knowledge of a variety of music genres.

President/CEO of Dijo Group, parent company of Mercelo Gustavo, Innocent Oboh, said he was confident in Mobolaji’s ability to put back-on-track a music industry that has been accused of lacking content over the years.

“I have always known Mobolaji to be a great talent and all he needed was a credible platform that can make his dreams come true. There is no better platform than Mercelo Gustavo to take him from the point of talent, brand, exposure, management, marketing, positioning, and consumption by music lovers.

“Mercelo Gustavo will offer Mobolaji all the support he needs to succeed in a keenly competitive Nigerian entertainment industry, and globally.

“Mobolaji inspires people with his music and this impacts on life which is what music or any work of art should do. While you dance to the instrumental you should also gain value through incisive messages in the music,” Mr Oboh said.
