Many who closely followed the
2011 Star Quest talent hunt show were not surprised to see D’beat band emerge
as winners. The band members displayed a ‘winning’ attitude from the very
beginning until the day they were proclaimed the best band in fame land.
They were subsequently signed to
Nigeria’s premiere management outfit, Now
Muzik , thereby becoming management family members with some of Africa’s
finest artises ; 2face Idibia, Tmi Dakolo and J.Martins. The band has since performed in major
concerts across Nigeria which includes but not limited to the Away and Beyond Concerts in Abuja and
Port-Harcourt.
D’beat’s debut single, oyoyo which was written and produced by Paul Play, co-produced and mixed
by Del’B, easily made it to the playlist of good
music lovers few hours after its release and the video, directed by fast
rising Patrick Elis receives heavy rotation till date.
Fast forward to November 2012, their toil and labour has no doubt
taken them to greater heights as Oyoyo makes it to the nomination
list alongside Timi Dakolo, Burna Boy and Dipp in the best RnB video category
for 2012 Nigeria Music Video Award (NMVA) .
The band boasts of a solid ten(10) track album titled “D’Beat Goes On” which was launched on
the 5th of July 2012 with production contributions from Paul Play,
OJB Jezreel and Phat E amongst other top notch producers.
Speaking on their nomination,
they said, “It is a big thing for us to be nominated for such a prestigious
award, it means we are doing something right and that our effort is recognized,
we thank Nigeria Breweries for the platform offered to us, Now Muzik , for believing in us and expending themselves vigorously
in our project, not forgetting our ever loving fans for their continuous loyal support. We appreciate everyone and we
hope to win our first ever award in our quest to be the number one band in
Nigeria.”
Voting for the NMVA starts on the 24th of
November (www.livebeats.net) and
the Awards will hold on the 20th
of December 2012 at the Exhibition hall of Eko Hotel and suites.
