Multitalented artiste, Jesse Abaga aka Jesse Jagz, talks about his return to his former label, Chocolate City, after he left the label three years ago.
How does it feel to be back to Chocolate City?
It feels great. Getting signed to and being on a proper label is always a big deal anywhere in the world. This seems a lot bigger because of the history we have.
When you left Chocolate City in 2012, you seemed bitter. Why are you no longer bitter?
I wasn’t bitter. It was business so both the record label and I insisted on what we wanted. There are so many aspects to a record contract. Irrespective of what anyone thinks, I left Chocolate City to better my career. During the period I was away from the label, we were not enemies; we still did business together and that’s what people did not understand.
How were you able to resolve your differences and did you hold out an olive branch to Chocolate City?
We were in talks the whole period I was away. It wasn’t an olive branch situation as such.
In the last three years, would you say your career suffered because you did not make the desired impact on the music scene?
In life you win some and lose some. There were certain things I wasn’t empowered to do but in that time, I built Jagznation. I will always make an impact with or without Chocolate City.
Tell us about your new contract with Chocolate City and when is it running out?
I have a three-year contract that will run out in 2018.
