Cape Town, January 24th, 2019 - One of Africa’s biggest music names and entertainment entrepreneurs, D’Banj and his media company, DKM Media led by CEO Damian Ifeanyi Okoroafor have signed with CSA Global on a deal to co-manage all the artists on their roster, including the “Kokomaster” himself and his C.R.E.A.M. entertainment platform.

“This is a true media & entertainment collaboration across the continent,” says D’Banj. “As an artist I have enjoyed working with CSA for many years and I believe that when two strong entities come together, the table is set for success!”
