Tekno

Augustine Miles Kelechi Okechukwu, professionally known as "Tekno", is a 33-year-old Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer whose career began over 14 years ago. Tekno first came into the music scene for remixing songs from artists like Ice Prince, but his big hit came in the form of his song titled "Holiday", which featured vocals from Davido. The song earned him massive airplay and public attention in Nigeria, which he leveraged when he released his singles "Dance" and "Anything".

In 2012, Tekno was spotted by renowned Nigerian comedian Julius Agwu at an event in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), after Tekno received a standing ovation following the performance of a song titled "Onye Ne Kwu", his remix of Ice Prince's "Oleku". On October 5, 2013, he signed a recording contract with Made Men Music Group.

These singles earned him a nomination in the "Best New Act of the Year" category at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards. On June 18, 2015, Tekno released his hit single titled "Duro", which was produced by DJ Coublon. "Duro" was positively received both in Africa and in the US. A remix which featured Phyno and Flavour N'abania was released on November 16, 2015. On November 20, 2015, Tekno released a single titled "Wash". The song was produced by DJ Coublon with the video directed by AJE Filmworks.

At the height of his career in 2017, he was named one of the top 10 hip-hop and R&B talents to watch in the United States by Billboard. Although the singer took a break from singing to become a songwriter, Tekno is one of the most successful artists of his generation, remaining relevant even 14 years after his debut.
