DEO SALVATOR IRATWUMVA, 27, is in talks with Scott Storch, an 8-time Grammy winner to work on his second album dubbed ‘Lifewithin vol II’.

The conversations to work together began when Scott posted Instagram saying "any artiste or producer who is trying to work DM me now” according to Salvator who is also founder of Fingerpickers in Africa.

"We connected on Instagram after he posted that he wants artistes and producers to work with and removed it after an hour. I had already seen it and screenshot it as a fact for him to reply, luckily I was fast enough to think of taking a screenshot before removal” he told The New Times.

"The main reason I contacted him was to record my second album, which would be easy to sell because I have a US-based booking agency company” he added.

For Salvador, the conversations are just starting, "we firstly had to agree that I'm willing to put all my effort and support into what I need to record with him.”

He further explained what it means to work with a legend like Scott Storch who produced all time hits like ‘Just a Lil Bit’ by 50 cent, ‘Still Dre’ by Snoop Dog ft DR Dre and ‘Candy shop’.

"It’s an honor and recognizing that I'm putting in work in what I do, that alone is another thing. Secondly, if the conversations go well and record the album, it will be a good way of breaking through the US market and the whole world since I will be close to my booking agency” said Salvator.

Deo Salvator has worked with different big artistes before, including Johnny Drill and Gina Mendello, former manager of the legendary Tommy Emmanuel and Salvator’s agent.

Some of Salvator's light work include his performance at Hamwe Festival 2020 and some of the songs on ‘Lifewithin vol I’ which include ‘Lantern’ and ‘Alleviant’.
