Darclay's Media

You are the CEO of Darclay’s Media

Yes, I am.

What is your company all about?

Well, my company is a media firm that conglomerates various aspects of media like music and movie production, event management, DJ services etc.

Does it have plans for upcoming artists and job seekers?

Definitely. Upcoming artists and job seekers are the major people that will help the firm grow. Record Labels are known courtesy of young talents. For in as much as artists are promoted and known, the company that brought him/her out doesn’t easily get forgotten. Just like Mavins Record. Koredo Bello and Reekado Banks are known because of Mavins and they have their roles in the promotion of the company.

Is the company currently working with any artist?

Sure. We are.

Do you produce movies as well?

Said that earlier. We are currently working on producing two videos ‘Same Girl’ and 'When death is not Enough'

That's the name of the movie? i mean 'when death is not enough'
Yes

What’s the video about, sir?

You see, this company is focused on bringing a little dynamism into nollywood. The video is one of the classical movies you know. But the punch line is unique, the production will be high definition, the graphic and language will be different from the usual in the country.

What do you mean by punch line, sir?

By punch line I mean the idea, the storyline, and its capability to be rated high above many. 

Where are your company branches?

We have one in Enugu and one at Lagos

You graduated from the University of Nigeria, am I right?

Yes, you are.

And at some time you won the most popular man in school and the best DJ?

Yea. That was an honour to the company. You know when you are doing anything good or negative, people are watching and taking notes.

What year was that?

2012

What led to that?

I don’t understand what you mean.

I mean how did you get to that point and level you are right now?

Of course, hard work and determination. With hard work and determination, there’s no height one can’t reach in life. And with God by your side

Do you have any advice to young people out there?

My solemn advice to every young person out there is simply to understand the power of focus and time management. Always make your plans put them ahead of time.

Thank you, sir. For your time

You are much welcome.
