After two years of business partnership, popular jeweler, Chris Aire, has announced his split with Port Harcourt-based Afro pop singer Duncan Mighty, Entertainment Café learnt.
A statement released by Aire’s PR camp maintained that the partnership contracted in May 2011 has done exactly what it set out to do and as a result, Aire is now withdrawing to focus on other businesses. “This split will give Duncan Mighty the chance to focus on his home career and continue to develop the young musicians under his tutelage. He is very talented and I wish him all the best,” the statement read.
Entertainment Café gathered that Aire and Mighty signed the deal to further the career of the dancehall act as well as facilitate the establishment of the Niger Delta Music and Art Project, NDMAP.
NDMAP is dedicated to developing the careers of young, promising artists from the Niger Delta, giving them opportunities to expand their careers on a scale that may not have been afforded them.
Over the two-year period, Duncan Mighty, we learnt, was able to establish himself as an artiste outside the walls of Port Harcourt. He recorded two successful albums, performed with international music star Shaggy and featured in top concerts and shows in and out of the country.
