ENTERTAINMENT: HVNTAR SIGNS WITH OAKLAND RECORDS, SET TO HEADLINE CONCERT IN AKURE

Rising Afrobeats sensation Hvntar is entering an exciting new phase with his signing to Oakland Records and an upcoming headline concert in Akure. Known for his nostalgic, smooth yet electrifying Afro-fusion sound, Hvntar blends Afrobeats with R&B, Highlife, and global influences, delivering music that is deeply personal and universally resonant.

Born in Ikeja, Lagos, and raised in Benue State, Hvntar grew up surrounded by music. His siblings’ voices in the church choir and his early experience leading a children's choir at age six set the foundation for his artistry. A heartbreak during university ignited his passion for songwriting, leading him to craft a song that became a campus hit and solidified his path as an artist.

Drawing inspiration from icons like P-Square and 2Baba, Hvntar’s music tells stories of love, ambition, resilience, and personal growth. His breakthrough came in 2019 when he won an online contest, earning a spot as a backup singer for 2Baba. This mentorship refined his craft and gave him a clearer vision of his career. His debut single, FDS (2021), gained traction through a viral TikTok challenge, and his 2024 EP, Cazador, featuring the standout track Show Me, marked a major milestone in his journey.

Hvntar’s signing with Oakland Records marks a new chapter in his career. The partnership will provide the support, resources, and global platform needed to elevate his artistry. With a fresh team backing him, fans can expect bigger productions, global collaborations, and groundbreaking projects that showcase his ever-evolving sound.

Currently working on new music, Hvntar is refining his Afro-fusion style with fresh production techniques, deeper storytelling, and innovative collaborations. As part of this exciting new phase, he will headline a major concert in Akure, Hvntar Live in Concert, bringing fans an immersive experience with live instrumentation, stunning visuals, and exclusive performances of both classic hits and unreleased tracks.

With a growing track record, a unique artistic vision, and a commitment to pushing boundaries, Hvntar is set to leave a lasting mark on the Afrobeats scene. Stay tuned for more updates on his music and upcoming performances.
