LAGOS — Renowned Afrobeats artist Zinoleesky has officially announced his departure from Marlian Music, marking the end of a highly successful multi-year partnership with the Naira Marley-led label. Transitioning into a new phase of professional autonomy, the singer has launched his own record label, ZINODICT MUSIC.
Strategic Independence and Brand Evolution
The establishment of ZINODICT MUSIC represents a strategic move toward creative and administrative independence. Named in honor of his dedicated global fanbase, the new imprint grants Zinoleesky full oversight of his intellectual property and brand positioning.
Industry analysts view this transition as a calculated step to solidify his legacy and expand his commercial footprint as both an artist and a music executive.
Industry Implications
Zinoleesky’s shift to an independent model reflects a growing trend among top-tier African artists seeking to diversify their portfolios and secure long-term career stability. By distancing himself from his former label, he effectively creates a fresh entry point for corporate partnerships and international collaborations.
“Nostalgia” is currently available worldwide on all major digital service providers.
