Monday, July 23, 2012Omoba
Those who keep their ears close to
the ground must have already heard about this dude.
And those who are up and about should
have encountered him already - young, stylish and driven, Eric Idiahi is the
man behind Spinlet - the digital music distribution company that's the new
bride of musicians.
With Spinlet already working with
2face Idibia, Banky W, Wizkid, Eldee, MI, Ice Prince, and many more, Eric has
his eyes set on solving the distribution problem in Nigeria, while helping curb
piracy and helping artistes and their labels make more money.
He's started well already - breaking
download and sales records with the EME all-stars album, sponsoring Ice
Prince's collaboration with Gyptian, sponsoring 2face, Ice Prince, Naeto C and
others to the globally-famous SXSW in Austin, Texas and supporting dozens of
local Nigerian artistes with recording, promo and other facilities.
Eric, who is very much married, is a
music fan who is building a movement out of his love for the art. What most
people don't know is that he's also the co-founder of Verod Capital, one of
Nigeria's leading investment firms, based in Lagos, Nigeria
