Dear Alewa House Community,
In light of recent developments of COVID-19 in Nigeria, and based on our desire to protect the health and safety of our community from the novel coronavirus disease, we are cancelling all activities in Alewa House.
In addition, beginning Monday, March 30, the House is suspending all in-person activities and is moving to online and other alternative networking options.
To be clear, the House will remain open, and we will be actively reviewing the situation to determine if and when our activities may resume. We are making this decision today because of the several confirm cases of COVID-19 in the country.
We take great pride in our organisational model, which provides invaluable connections, camaraderie and support. Although this is one of Alewa House great strengths, we also recognize that these are extraordinary times that require exceptional measures to deal with a health risk that affects us all.
In addition, effective immediately and until further notice, we are suspending all events and tours. We will seek opportunities to enable certain events through live-streaming or other platforms. This policy is based on current best-practices regarding social distancing as a prevention strategy for disease transmission.

Now, more than ever, we will pull together and do what Alewa House does best – collaborate, find solutions, and move forward, together. I know we are up to the task and that we will emerge from this stronger than ever as a community. Thank you in advance for your support.
Most sincerely,

Alewa House 2022 Wrap-Up
by Alewa House, published 1 year, 3 months ago
Welcome to 2023! For us, the year 2022 was about staying low and figuring out what we want our brand to be like in the minds of our audience and listeners. This meant that we didn’t do a lot of online activities, as we were hibernating.
However, Alewa House video, textual and audio streaming platform was still functional and we have compiled all the trending songs, hits and content that kept our platform alive.
What we also didn’t fail to do was use traditional media, JayFM Jos, every Saturday, to play the songs of the top three most streamed, engaged and downloaded songs on Alewa House. This has kept us in the minds of 15 million listeners every weekend. We have also kept our 1 million fans in the know, through our mailing list.
In all, we have had 20 million impressions this year. Below are the creators we would like to recognize for their contribution and partnership with us. Based on stats and figures influenced by actions and in actions of our prestigious community, here are our top creators:

Kenny Wonder Releases a 3 in 1 EP/Album
by Alewa House, published 1 year, 4 months ago
Kenny Wonder is one of the music industry’s most significant unsung heroes. During a career that spanned more than twenty years, he changed the lives of many artists, engineers, mixers, producers, and music lovers in general. Without him, the music industry today would look very different.
He is the most consistent artist and producer and one of the most influential talents in the last two decades. Average fans know him for his greatness as an artist, but he is just as skilled as a music producer.
His musical contributions can be traced back to "Telli Person" for Timaya, and "Cinderela" for Olu maintain. He released his first album "One by One Hit" in 2006, and a jazz compilation, "Saxo-Vaccination" in 2020. These projects were widely accepted with positive reviews all over the world.
In 2022, he released several singles, which included "Smoothie", "Action" featuring Mai Zhafi, and "Hot Inside" featuring Orion.
He has worked with the likes of 2face aka 2Baba, Timaya, Olamide, Phyno, Victoria Kimani, Cecile, Olumaintain, Emma Nyra, Oritsefemi, CDQ, to mention just a few.
He places a strong value on the art of collaboration, which allows him to create entirely different sonic moods for each of his projects.
His latest project, "3in1" is a compilation of three new singles, which he is releasing on the same day. This project contains songs like "Yaro", "Mi Amor", and "Hustling & Balling" featuring KODii S.O.G.
The 3 In 1 project is officially released on the 2nd of December 2022.
