Elliot Imoh, professionally known as Elijaze, is carving a unique path in the African music industry—not just as a talented singer, rapper, and songwriter, but also as a visionary music entrepreneur. His latest venture, Blaq Empire Music Ltd., is a fully independent, full-service record label and artist management company, created to support the next generation of music stars.

A Vision Rooted in Passion and Purpose

Driven by a passion for elevating undiscovered talent, Elijaze founded Blaq Empire Music to become a haven for upcoming artists in Nigeria and beyond. “I’ve always believed that talent should be nurtured, not overlooked,” Elliot said. “There are countless gifted musicians out there who never get heard because they lack the right platform and mentorship. That’s why I started Blaq Empire Music.”

Originally from Delta State, Nigeria, and now based in Russia, Elliot’s journey through the music industry has been filled with challenges—from sourcing reliable collaborators to navigating the complexities of music production and distribution. These experiences inspired him to build a record label that does more than make hits—it builds lasting careers.

Blaq Empire Music: A Full-Service Independent Record Label

Blaq Empire Music is more than just a record label in Nigeria—it’s a creative ecosystem. The company offers a broad range of services, including:

• Artist Development Programs through the Blaq Empire Academy
• Music Production with access to professional studios and sound engineers
• Video Production & Cinematography for music videos, content creation, and visual storytelling
• Artist Branding & Management
• Music Promotion & Distribution across digital platforms
• Social Media Content Strategy tailored for the entertainment industry

“At Blaq Empire Music, we’re not just focused on making songs—we’re focused on building artists. We equip our talents with the tools they need to succeed both on and off the stage,” Elijaze emphasized.

A Mission to Reshape the Independent Artist Experience

Despite working on his upcoming EP, “Bigger Than Boss,” Elliot remains deeply committed to Blaq Empire’s mission. His goal is clear: to transform how independent artists break into the industry by offering structure, mentorship, and a global platform.

“Working in this space has shown me how hard it is to gain traction without support. With Blaq Empire Music, I’m creating a safe space for independent artists in Nigeria and across Africa to grow and thrive,” he explained.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Blaq Empire Music

Blaq Empire Music is set to become a powerhouse in Africa’s entertainment industry, pushing the boundaries of traditional record label operations. The brand’s emphasis on creativity, collaboration, and consistency ensures that every artist has the opportunity to develop their unique sound, identity, and brand.

“My dream is to see new voices rise and take their rightful place in the spotlight,” Elliot said. “That’s what Blaq Empire Music is all about—empowering the next generation of music icons.”
