Solana Joins Sony’s Since ’93 Records as Label Expands African Talent Roster

Lagos-born singer Solana has signed with Sony Music’s Since ’93 Records, adding to the label’s African talent roster. The deal comes as she prepares to release her debut EP, *Girl From The West*, and develops YoruPop, a style blending Yoruba influences with synth-pop, Fuji, R&B and electronic music.

The 23-year-old gained attention this year with “Okunkun”, meaning “darkness” in Yoruba, and has received social media support from SZA, Tyla, Doechii and Little Simz. She was also named a Spotify EQUAL Africa Ambassador. Since ’93, founded in 2012 and relaunched with Sony Music in 2018, has worked with artists including Tems, Tyla, Aitch and Fredo.
