Seapking about his new deal, Burna Boy said, “
“My music is global and I have toured the globe. I need my performance royalties collection to be on point, tidy, transparent, quick. Not sure anyone does it better than KNR,” Burna Boy said about the deal.
Burna Boy’s manager, Bose Ogulu, said: “When you manage an international artist whose music is constantly played around the world, it only makes sense to align with an efficient performance royalties collector with strong international reach”.
KNR business development manager Micheal Stinton said: “Instantly recognizable, Burna Boy is one of the most influential and culturally important artists to break on a global scale over the last few years. From a Grammy nomination for his incredible 2019 album, African Giant to a Grammy wins for 2020’s Twice As Tall.”
