In a world where entertainment transcends cultural expression to become a powerful driver of economic growth, Sean Efosa, popularly known as Dgodfather, stands at the forefront of Nigeria’s creative industry.
With over 14 years of industry experience, Sean Efosa has built an impressive career across multiple facets of entertainment. From pioneering impactful music campaigns during his time at Sound City to founding Longitude Africa, a prominent record label that housed artists such as Victor AD, Bayboy AV, and producers Black Culture and Kul Boy, his influence cannot be overemphasised.
Artists under Longitude Africa delivered hit records that garnered millions of airplays across platforms. Upon founding Rebirth Music, he signed Kodee who recently marked a defining moment in his career with the viral hit “Duro”, which generated over 1.5 million TikTok videos, amassed 30+ million streams, and charted in over 70 countries.
Similarly, Baby Boy AV’s “Confession” achieved remarkable success, surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify alone, earning Gold and Platinum certifications in France, which further solidified Baby Boy AV’s legacy of hit-making.
Building on this momentum, Efosa transformed Longitude Africa into a fully fledged music distribution and Record label company, Rebirth Music, expanding his impact beyond label operations. Beyond running music distribution businesses, he has also distinguished himself as an artist manager, playing key roles in the growth and success of talents such as Victor AD, Dai Verse, and Kodee. Other remarkable releases, such as “Cocaine” and “Salt”, also reinforced Dai Verse’s success. His single, “Fine Wine”, also ranked #32 on Apple Music Top 100 Nigeria.
Efosa’s expertise extends strongly into live entertainment. He played a major role in the success of Rema’s 2024 homecoming tour, which spanned Lagos, Benin, and Abuja. In recent times, he has continued to drive music and culture through live events, working closely with A-list artists such as Davido and contributing significantly to the amplification of Davido’s 5IVE Tour in Abuja.
He has also been a prominent part of the Johnny’s Live Room experience in Lagos and Abuja, an unforgettable concert series where Mavin Records’ Johnny Drille serenades audiences with his signature sound.
At the forefront of the Wizkid Goat Experience, Efosa once again demonstrated his expertise as an organiser, project manager, marketing and publicity strategist, and, above all, a driver of excellence.Through his work in music distribution, artist management, and successful show promotion, he continues on a mission to shape the entertainment industry and position Nigeria firmly on the global stage.
