RJ Kaniera’s meteoric rise continues with his recent signing to Sony Music Africa. This talented artist from Lubumbashi has just reached a new important step in his musical career. The announcement of his contract with Sony Music was made by the label itself, belonging to Sony Corporation, the giant of the music industry.
Sony Music is one of the largest record labels in the world, alongside Universal Music and Warner Music. Many Congolese artists have already been part of this prestigious record company, and RJ Kaniera now joins this list of talents.
On his social networks, RJ Kaniera expressed his pride and enthusiasm about this new collaboration with Sony Music Africa. He declared: “My generals, Sony Music Africa becomes our new roof. Together, we will write the most beautiful pages of Congolese music.”
This announcement comes as RJ Kaniera’s song “Tia” enjoys phenomenal success. Since its audio release last July, and the video release in September, “Tia” has become a real hit. We find it at all parties, discos and playlists of the moment.
The catchy lyrics of “Tia” quickly won over the public, with lines going viral like “Balance the sound, I will incur a debt, the State will pay”. This song addresses with humor and irony the financial difficulties that many Congolese face. In just two months, the music video for “Tia” is approaching 10 million views on YouTube.
Signing with Sony Music Africa opens new opportunities for RJ Kaniera. With the support and power of this label, he will be able to continue to develop his career and conquer an even wider audience.
This success of RJ Kaniera highlights the musical potential of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country where music occupies a central place. The DRC continues to produce talented artists who appeal to audiences both nationally and internationally.
We will be closely following RJ Kaniera’s upcoming projects under the Sony Music Africa umbrella and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. Congratulations to him for this great success and congratulations on his signing with Sony Music.
