She noted that Samklef is a certified hitmaker, has great stage presence and he is a master at engaging any music-loving crowd.
Samklef’s debut album titled “Noni” was released in 2010 followed by an international edition titled “Nonilizing” released in January 2011. He spans several year’s in the entertainment industry and the outcome is vast experience which can only be garnered by working with some of the best hands in every field.
His influences include international producers and artistes, Timbaland and Kanye West as well as his industry colleagues, Don Jazzy and Tuface. During the 2017 Best Awards Week, Samklef performed his international hit “Molowo Noni”, to a standing-only-room crowd at the Sayers club in Hollywood California.
The diverse Samklef is also an entrepreneur and motivational speaker. “I want to inspire others to achieve their dreams, if I can make it out of the poorest conditions from Lagos Nigeria, with hard work and dedication anyone can”, Samklef said.
