“Finally I have now joined the big Sony Music family,” DJ Emotionz said. “This is the beginning of so many great things to come. I am looking forward to working with the whole big family and we’re going to make some magic.”

He wrote on social media: “Proud to announce my partnership with @sonymusicafrica. ‘Messiah’ is dropping on 20 August and Champions League EP is available on pre-order. I really can’t wait to share this piece of work with you. After 10 years in the music game, I drop my first EP.”
