R&B starlet, Jeff Akoh, has joined leading creative agency and management firm, Temple Management Company (TMC). The gifted singer, who became the youngest winner of Project Fame in 2015, signed the dotted lines in the company of his mother, Betty Akoh, at the corporate office of the company in Victoria Island, Lagos recently.
According to Mark Redguard, Head of Entertainment, “Temple Management is not only about A-list artistes, we are also focused on artiste development by nurturing young stars who will take the reins. In Jeff Akoh, we at TMC see this lofty vision is actualised and we hope to do some wonderful things together.”
Jeff expressed optimism about his new relationship with TMC saying, “It is the joy of every artiste to have a solid backend and I am happy that TMC brings that and a lot more with strong affiliations to global players in the entertainment industry,” said Jeff.
“After I won Project Fame, there has been a lot of expectations from Nigerians, rightly so. I am more confident than ever that I can do some fantastic music. As they say, when preparation meets opportunity, the inevitable result is success.”
Jeff held his own among established acts like Awilo Longomba, Sir Shina Peters and Onyeka Onwenu at the recently held Sunny On Sunday Concert in honour of King Sunny Ade. Jeff who was raised in Abuja is a singer and sound engineer who trained at SAE Institute, Cape Town, South Africa. He won the eighth season of Project Fame West Africa in 2015. Before then, together with his brother, Fred Akoh, he contested on Glo Naija Sings in 2010 at the age of 13, finishing in the Top 10. He released a single entitled ‘Never Let You Go’ and a feature with Yemi Alade entitled Kissing (Remix).
TMC Limited which recently curated the much-talked about Sunny On Sunday concert is a full-service creative talent and event management company incorporated in Nigeria and operating in the Entertainment, Sports, Media and Art sectors.
