Wams Takes Over Music Airwaves With New Release – JeauneArtiste

 

The 2017 CamerGreen first runner up, Wams (Mr Klassic), is back at it again. Just like his previous hits that elevated him to the pinnacle of music in Cameroon, Wams, a journalist turned musician, has just released a new video clip.

The video clip of his much-awaited hit single, titled “JeuneARTISTE” released May 10, 2018, is already making waves around Music channels and online.

According to Wams, the song is special and unique for two reasons; it is originally carved out of ‘graffi’ folk ‘bottle dance’ rhythm and sung with fresh RnB mellow vocals on a ‘DJ cliff’ produced urban beat called “Bottle Soul”.

 

“JeuneARTISTE tells the tale of the struggles of every growing musician in Cameroon and developing countries,” he added

This song premiered on Boom Television’s “ACCESS AFRICA” and has been rated by @donjumper, @titivalery, @cyrilbojiko @presidenttchotchop as being one of the most original urban music pieces in recent Cameroon music history.

The chorus of the song has been used by telephony companies as default dial tone only days after it was released. “quand t’es JeuneARTISTE OH, personne ne veutt’ecouter”, is being recited by youngsters in almost every household in Cameroon.

According to Wams, this song was inspired by a personal experience and those recounted by other budding talents.

He is using the JeuneARTISTE campaign to galvanize young people towards building a sustainable music career despite the challenges. He is hoping to empower 10 budding talents randomly picked from across Cameroon during his tour of the regions.

Prior to the release of JeuneARTISTE, the “Journalist cum Singer” had sent a strong signal of how message – carrying and positive influencing his music would be after his maiden classic “Newsman” was released in 2017.

The song earned him titles and has continued to raise awareness on the threats to Press Freedom in third world countries.

Wams is based in Douala, a Cameroonian from the Northwest of Cameroon, born in Buea to a family of 10. He is currenttly CamerGreen music Ambassador after he finished second amongst 200 contestants with his song titled “Earthsong” that promotes best environmental practices.
