Musical duo signed under Antonio's Arts
Ethnix speaks to tjil about why they chose Antonio's Arts to be their management.
Popping afro pop duo Ethnix have put their foot down and signed with producer and manager Antonio Arts. The singers confirmed the news to tjil saying having looked around, Antonio's Arts is the best move for their career. Ethnix said they opted for Antonio's Arts because of his track record and his involvement with his artists.
“Antonio is not an artist so he can easily focus on us compared to other mangers and producers who are artists. It is also about his reputation and we have our observation and he puts all his efforts in investing in his artists,” they said.
Asked if it is still necessary for artists to sign under record labels, Ethnix says that due to work load and other commitments, it is recommended because an artist's job should simply be to worry about making music and not about booking gigs. According to them, one needs backup which consists of a team that concentrates on the non-music related business. “Some people may differ because they do not have eight-to-five jobs and they can manage to run around and do everything else,” they said. Ethnix and Antonio's Arts signed a 50/50 agreement which means Antonio will be booking gigs for the duo, printing albums and investing in their art. With this two-year agreement; the musicians hope to release their album, grow brand Ethnix and make it concrete in the music industry. Besides signing, the artists are currently working on their debut album and will soon release a new single as well as a music video.
