On the 20th of January 2010,the entertainment industry gathered together to celebrate one of their own - Timi Dakolo at an event held to celebrate his Birthday, Video Premiere and Album listening. The three-in-one event which was put together by Timi's management had the heavyweights of the industry in attendance. People like Obi Asika - CEO of Storm Records, Julius Agwu, Segun Demuren of EME (BankyW's record label), AK-One, Tola Odunsi, Emem Ema and so many more.

The birthday boy arrived just in time to cut his many birthday cakes and thereafter swung into his performances. He rendered songs from the forthcoming album titled 'TIMI' to a very well pleased audience. The surprise guest of the night was Cobhams Asuquo who arrived just in time to perform a track from the album titled 'Raise the Roof' which certainly got everyone raising the roof!

Storm Records present, the first video off Sauce Kid’s debut album, “African American”.
The Song, “Na Me Be Fine Boy”, was produced by H-Code. The Video was shot by Storm’s own, Bobby Boulders in South Africa a few months ago. The Song is already receiving radio airplay and good reviews.

The video features appearances from Sasha, Pincode & Tamarasha.
Sauce Kid became popular for the hit song "Yebariba Samboribobo" (a mixtape joint off Remy Ma’s Conceited, produced by Scott Storch) which  turned into a national anthem and then a street slang which is now commonly used amongst Nigerians. Sauce Kid is currently putting the final touches to his album and it will be dropping early in the new year.The album already features collaborations with General Pype, Ghetto P & Banky W and many more. Sauce Kid signed to Storm Records earlier this year and the audience can expect a fully rounded album which will enable fans to experience Sauce Kid at all levels.
Sauce Kid has been busy performing at events like both of the Thisday Music Festivals in Lagos & Sun City, South Africa. He was also a Judge on The M-net Show, “Naija Sings” recently. He is still in the studio cooking up more soup and according to Storm execs the new music is more personal, is about him telling his story, about connecting to the fans at all levels and sharing his personal experience.

We believe Sauce Kid can be a major player in the Nigerian, African and Global music and entertainment space, the man packs a punch with his music and his personality is engaging, in fact he is that heavy with the swagger that artists with less personality will not be able to survive on the same page.

Be prepared for some very HOT sauce coming to you very soon!!!
