Lagos-born singer Solana joined Sony Music UK’s Since ’93 record label on November 11, according to a signing announcement reported by Billboard U.K. Sony Music UK’s own Since ’93 page now lists SOLANA on its artist roster, and the Apple Music listing for her forthcoming project carries a Since ’93 recording credit.
The signing gives a Nigerian artist a new label partner inside a British Sony Music operation as she prepares a release for November 13. It also adds to a roster that Sony’s label page says includes Nigerian acts Tems and Shallipopi. The public evidence establishes the new relationship and the release credit, but it does not disclose an advance, royalty split, contract length or the catalogue covered by the agreement.
A label move alongside a new project
Billboard U.K. reported the signing on Wednesday after receiving statements from Solana and Since ’93 co-president Riki Bleau. Solana described the arrangement as a partnership with Since ’93 and the Sony Music team. Bleau described her as a new signing. Sony’s own roster independently confirms that she is now listed among the label’s artists.
Apple Music lists Girl From The West for November 13, 2026. Its pre-release page identifies Solana as the artist and prints the sound-recording credit as “Since 93, a division of Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited under exclusive licence from Solana.” That line is useful evidence of how this particular release is presented to listeners. It is not a published copy of the contract, and it does not establish who administers Solana’s songwriting or which earlier recordings, if any, are covered.
The listing also gives a concrete next step for the announcement: listeners can check the project when it becomes available on Friday. Until then, chart performance, first-week consumption and the audience response remain unknown. An announced partnership should not be mistaken for a commercial result before the music is out.
Where Solana fits on the roster
Sony Music UK describes Since ’93 as part of its RCA Label Group. Alongside Solana, its published roster names Tems, Tyla, Shallipopi, Qing Madi and other artists. The label’s site identifies Bleau and Glyn Aikins as co-presidents. Since ’93 says on its own website that its record-label venture with Sony was built in partnership with Aikins. These are the organisations and executives publicly associated with the new signing; the parties have not published a detailed division of work for Solana’s campaign.
Solana is not new to InterSpace Daily’s music coverage. Our July release roundup included her single “Dide”. This week’s development is the label relationship, rather than a fresh account of that earlier song. Billboard’s report connects the signing to the forthcoming project and describes Solana’s music as “YoruPop,” a term associated with her mix of Yoruba influences and pop production.
For Nigerian artists and managers, the point to watch is the shape of the release and the campaign that follows. Sony’s roster page confirms placement inside the label group, while Apple’s credit shows a licence line on the upcoming project. Neither public page supplies the financial terms or a broader rights schedule. Any account of those terms will need a further disclosure from the parties.
