According to the filmmaker, the soundtrack of his short film ‘sweet revenge’ was done by some of the children signed to Tabic Records.

Atuma discovered the children during the Otukpo Got Talent competition organized by David Mark Foundation.

He said “when I came back to Canada, I tried to use my connection to get them into record labels but most of them requested development funds to help them.

“In April, I decided to put them in a studio in Makurdi. Two of them, 13 and 15, are exceptional. I decided to float a record label to use my money and connections to help them, develop them with the permission of their parents.”

He said the children are from poor families who live from hand to mouth.

“I relocated the teenagers to Lagos to be able to work with the producers that can produce songs for them that Nigerians want.

“If the only thing I’m gonna achieve from now till I die is to help poor children, I will die happy.

“I will be in Nigeria in October to launch Tabic Records. A record label that will be dedicated to the talents from poor homes and less privileged children who do not have godfathers in the industry and money to make it.

“We will be their hope and their road to stardom.”
