History
Due to his love for music and on seeing the sufferings and difficulty upcoming artists in Nigeria have to go through in order to realize their potential, Nigerian entrepreneur and musician, Osadolor Nate Asemota popularly Dr Dolor decided to start up a record label to support talented acts on their journey to realizing their potentials. He launched the record label in December 2016 and held the unveiling of the record label and press release on the 16th of December, 2016.
The unveiling of the record label and press release took place by 11 AM (Nigerian time) at The Bank Lounge, Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria. The event was graced by Nigerian celebrities including Skales, Nedu Wazobia, MC Makopolo, Kemi Smallz, Latchenko, Kelvin BOJ, Brain Child, Geoffrey Oji (seventh season of Project Fame West Africa winner).
He started up the label with his first act, Ryan Omo, who released his first single and the first Dr Dolor Entertainment song ‘Highclass’ on the 29th of December, 2016. On the 14th of June, 2017, Dr Dolor welcomed Nigerian-Lebanese songstress, Vinila Lu, to the label.
On the 4th of November, 2017, Dr Dolor signed Nigerian songstress, Teni to the Dr Dolor Entertainment. Before the signing, Teni was affiliated with Shizzi’s record label, Magic fingers and Dr Dolor stated in an interview that he wasn’t interested in signing a new artist at the time as he just wanted to focus on and push his current artists. But a friend recommended Teni to him and Teni called him afterward and stated that he is the only one in the industry that she is willing to work with. After their conversation on the phone, Dr Dolor loved her personality and decided to sign her to the label and in just a few years with the label, she has grown to become one of the top ten female musicians in Nigeria.
