Several years ago, the American recording artist, Kameko Tarnez, made a sudden departure from the music industry. Despite this hiatus, the lasting impact of his unique vocal style and ability to seamlessly blend music genres has helped him maintain a loyal core fanbase. These devoted fans eagerly anticipate his imminent return to the music scene.
In an enlightening and candid interview, Kameko Tarnez shared, “The decision to withdraw from the music industry several years ago was undoubtedly challenging. However, I am genuinely grateful for the decision because this time away has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the industry. The knowledge gained enables me to produce the elements necessary for a thriving music career while upholding my artistic integrity.”
Before temporarily stepping away from music, Kameko had the privilege of collaborating with several music icons, including luminaries such as Michael Jackson, Erykah Badu, Grace Jones and many others. Now, Kameko’s departure from the music realm is beginning to align with his broader vision. Over the years, his esteemed company, Archrok Entertainment, has achieved considerable success within the realms of film production and entertainment consulting.
To date, Archrok has secured a $210 million USD investment to support the highly anticipated Nubian Egyptian film trilogy titled Protector of the Gods. This substantial financial backing supplements the film’s initial $90 million budget to facilitate the creation of a truly amazing visual masterpiece. The trilogy sets out to captivate global audiences by immersing them in the enchanting world of ancient Egypt and will provide an innovative afro-futuristic angle to the enthralling narratives of historical figures such as Hatshepsut, Nefertiti, and Cleopatra.
Esteemed Hollywood actor Hill Harper, renowned for his starring role on ABC’s The Good Doctor, and the multi-talented actress/singer Rhonda Ross, daughter of the legendary Diana Ross and entertainment mogul Berry Gordy, proudly serve as the executive producers for these captivating films. Kameko himself has undertaken the roles of writer and director for each installment of the trilogy.
Beyond this groundbreaking film venture, Archrok Entertainment is set to relocate its headquarters to Dubai. This important move correlates with the company’s plan to establish film and recording studios across Africa, as previously reported by Business Insider in December 2022. Kameko Tarnez passionately articulates, “Archrok is committed to harnessing the diverse talents and rich cultural heritage of the continent. Our expansion presents an unprecedented opportunity to collaborate with local artists and storytellers, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas and perspectives that will infuse a distinctive authenticity into all of our projects.”
Within the confines of the interview, Kameko also revealed his imminent return to the realm of music. He teased that further details regarding his recent $210 million investment, as well as insights into his forthcoming music endeavors, will be unveiled through an upcoming docuseries.
