Troniq Music is a Lagos-based recorded-music label founded by Godfrey Eguakun, publicly reported as launched in 2017 as Monkey Media House and rebranded Troniq Music in 2019. It holds the phonogram credit on releases by Nigerian singer Oxlade, licensing his masters to Epic Records/Sony Music Entertainment France rather than distributing them directly, a licensing relationship confirmed across Apple Music and Deezer catalogue data from 2020 through 2025.

Corporate registration is unresolved: the only matching UK company, TRONIQ LTD (number 11686472), was dissolved in October 2020, yet Troniq-credited releases continued to appear afterward, so it is not established whether today’s Troniq is a successor entity or a re-registration elsewhere. Ownership is reported as resting with Eguakun, with no shareholder filing found to confirm it.
