Lagos, Nigeria, Nov 14, 2025–Mavin Global, Africa’s leading entertainment company, announces the signing of new singer-songwriter CupidSzn. In true Mavin fashion, his unveiling is heralded by the release of his impressive debut EP “Myth-Era”.
Just like the epics of gods and legends, Cupid’s “Myth-Era” builds around his artistic lore, chronicling his transition from ordinary boy to full-fledged Mavin. The EP’s soundscape is rich with inspired melodies and lush instrumentals, a befitting prologue to what promises to be a thrilling odyssey. Cupid performs his role as the hero of this sonic myth exceptionally well, working with an all-star lineup of producers to craft one of the most memorable debut EPs in recent memory.
The focus track “Palava” sees Cupid fully in his element, weaving hypnotic melodies over a dulcet guitar-and-drum instrumental courtesy of the prolific Ozedikus. Other stand-out tracks include “Super” produced by industry legend Don Jazzy, the experimental “Zesty Money”, and victory anthem “Famous”.
Born Stevenson Njoku Anyinachiso, CupidSZN grew up in Nigeria’s Garden City, Port Harcourt. His desire to become a musician was sparked by a Juice Wrld video he stumbled upon during a random, boring day at home. Although trap music was his first love, Cupid decided to venture into Afrobeats on the advice of his father, who told him that to conquer the world, he would first have to conquer home. Thus began his journey as a self-taught Afrobeats artist, learning the ropes on music apps like Band Lab.
In 2023 his entire family made the decision to move with him to Lagos to help him make his dreams a reality—a tremendous act of support that has led to Cupid being signed to the biggest record label in Africa. Since then Cupid has raced toward the realization of his vision at a startling trajectory; releasing his first single, amassing over 10 MILLION career streams and landing himself a record deal at Mavin in a little over a year. With his unveiling now upon us, it is safe to say that CupiDSZN’s journey to conquering the world is well underway.
