According to his mother, when E.M.E. (born Emmanuel Nwaneto) was baptized, the presiding reverend declared that the child would be a star. Two decades later, he's now fulfilling the reverend's prophecy as an up-and-coming Afrofusion artist based in Denver, Colorado. With over 1.5 million views on his videos and 2 million streams on Spotify and Apple Music, E.M.E is rapidly rising to meet his goal of bringing Afrobeats from Nigeria, to Colorado, and now to the world. E.M.E returned to music, recording and releasing a few hip-hop tracks. But it wasn't until he linked up with producers Mic Coats and F.L., of the legendary Denver-based label Hitsville. The trio immediately connected and got to work churning out music, ending up with a vault of over sixty songs in just a year. Several were dropped as experimental singles, like "Drago," "Yey Yey,""Love Me Again", "One Day", and "Kolo", as a way to test the waters and dial in E.M.E's sound. "Got Me," his collaboration with Denver R&B royalty Danae Simone, was one of KS107.5's most played songs of 2024. His singles also started charting in Nigeria, climbing to Number 10 on the country's charts for all music genres.
