It is well known that Banky W recently took time off of his schedule as a musician and Record Label Executive, for a 3 month sojourn in New York City, where he studied Filmmaking at the New York Film Academy (NYFA). While there, he completed his course, and as a result, has become quite possibly the first musician in Nigeria to write & direct 3 of his own Clips; 2 music films and a music video.
On Thursday, December 18th 2014 at the Genesis Deluxe Cinemas, Banky W will host an exclusive “Movie Premiere” of the Clips on for a select audience of friends, colleagues in the Entertainment Industry, and society A-listers.
This event will see EME partner with the soon-to-be released Samsung Galaxy A series of smart phones; the Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3. This new series is going to be an instant hit among young upwardly mobile Nigerians as it features a refined and trendy design alongside a Super AMOLED display and Adaptive Display technology that delivers clearer images and better viewing angles for more vivid, colourful content in virtually any environment, even under bright sunlight, inclusive of other popular features exclusive to Galaxy devices. Guests at the event will be the first on the Nigeria to get a chance to experience this new revolutionary line of phones from Samsung.
Banky W’s “A Music Film Experience” is an 18+ event, and the Ciroc team will be on-hand to provide cocktails and refreshments; additional support for the premiere will be provided by Diamond Bank and Oando. Banky has decided to take things a step further, by arranging a night at the movies for 100 of his biggest fans. Fans (who are resident/available in Lagos State) will be selected via Social Media, and will be treated to the special night on Tuesday December 23rd, also at the Genesis Deluxe Cinemas in the Palms Mall, Lekki.
Speaking about the upcoming events, Mr W said “I feel really blessed knowing how far I’ve come in my career, and I’m excited about how far I still have to go. I’m learning, growing, and expanding my business, and I’m grateful to God and to my fans for affording me the opportunity to live my dreams. I’m very eager to finally share the clips I’ve worked so hard on with the world through this event. I hope people enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed writing, directing and filming. I’m also particularly happy to be able, in my own small way, bring some joy to some of my fans this Christmas. Without them, none of this would be possible and I owe everything to God’s grace and the support that they continuously give me. I promise them that I’m just getting started… 2015 will see me release more music, and do a lot more work writing and directing videos, commercials, and I may start working on my debut feature film soon too. This is only the beginning.”
On his part, Director of Information Technology and Mobile at Samsung Electronics West Africa, Mr. Emmanouil Revmatas, said that the Galaxy A series is revolutionary not only in terms of the great Smartphone experience that it will provide but also in terms of its value proposition.
The Galaxy A5 and Galaxy A3 are ideal for young Nigerians seeking the twin features of style and functionality in a mobile device. These devices make our advanced Galaxy experience even more accessible to young and trend-conscious individuals. We believe that the devices will further fuel the growth of the Smartphone market in Nigeria and will especially delight consumers looking for a great multimedia experience and superior performance,” he explained.
