Universal SA signs Cameroonian singer
Cameroonian singer Wax Dey has announced that his new album will be released by Universal Music South Africa.
The award-winning singer revealed that his second album will be called Final Light and that it will have a more R&B and hip-hop theme, while trying to maintain his unique West African sound.
The album is due for release in April.
According to his publicist Clarisse Ndinge, the album will also include some tracks from his 2016 Cameroonian release '360 Degrees' for which he won an Afrima award for Best Male Artist in Central Africa.
"The album will feature major African stars such as Minks, Nasty C, Uzzy, Cassper Nyovest, Yemi Alade, Banky W, as well as Cameroonian legendary diva Annie Anzouer," Ndinge says.

About Wax Dey:
Wax Dey started his musical career by organising concerts and awards ceremonies at the University of Buea but his move to South Africa for further studies changed his course.
Forced to perform at small private parties to meet his bills, he found himself in the mainstream South African music industry in 2008 when his acoustic soul single Miss Real, Mr. Regular got major traction.
The song later appeared on SONY Music's 2010 Africa All Stars compilation, and was sampled and remixed by many DJs including Rowick Deep.
