A Decade of Innovation Sparks a New Chapter
As he nears the 10-year anniversary of his critically acclaimed debut album VII, African Pop Maverick and global hitmaker TRESOR unveils a bold new vision: Jacquel Dance, a division of his entertainment powerhouse Jacquel Entertainment Group. The new venture is devoted to crafting and exporting timeless African dance music across the globe.
Honoring a Lifelong Connection to Dance Music
“Dance music has soundtracked some of the most important milestones in my life and career,”
reflects TRESOR. From his earliest memories in Congo to global stages, dance music has been the beat behind his rise. With Jacquel Dance, TRESOR seeks to celebrate that personal legacy while igniting a global movement.
A Creative Incubator for Africa’s Finest
Jacquel Dance aims to become a vibrant incubator for Africa’s most innovative producers, vocalists, and songwriters—united by rhythm, creativity, and global ambition. The label is designed as a nimble music start-up, embracing collaboration, experimentation, and a mission to produce iconic anthems that transcend borders.
‘Wale Wale’: The First Anthem of a New Era
The launch of Jacquel Dance coincides with a major milestone: the global licensing of TRESOR’s new single Wale Wale by Warner Music. Featuring Kenyan rising star Sofiya Nzau, the soaring house track blends African pop brilliance with international house energy—poised to become a summer anthem across Europe and beyond.
Backing from Global Powerhouses
“This Warner Music partnership is just the beginning,”
says TRESOR. It signals a growing appetite for African dance music on the world stage—and TRESOR is ready to lead the charge.
From Drake to Popcaan: TRESOR’s Global Impact
TRESOR’s global influence is already undeniable. In 2022, he co-wrote and produced six tracks on Drake’s dance album Honestly, Nevermind, including fan favorites “Currents” and “Tie That Binds”. The project propelled him to #15 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Songwriters list. His recent collaboration on “We Caa Done” with Popcaan and Drake, alongside a global publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing in the U.S., further cements his place as a creative force on the world stage.
Building More Than a Label—Building a Legacy
“This is not just about building a label—it’s about building a legacy,”
TRESOR declares. With Jacquel Dance, he sets out not only to make history, but to move the world—one beat at a time.
