Music channel MTV Base has named Starboy CEO
Wizkid MTV Base’s Artist Of The Month for November 2014.
To tie in with the release of Wizkid’s brand
new album Ayo, urban music authority MTV Base is backing Wizkid with a month of
programmes dedicated to his rise and rise.
Wizkid, who started out singing in church in
Lagos, at the age of 11, burst onto the music scene in 2010 with the hit “Tease
Me”. His debut album Superstar firmly cemented his place in African music’s
Afro-Beat pantheon, taking over dance floors and charts throughout Africa, and
allowing him to make his first major moves on the international music scene.
In 2012, Wizkid sold out his headlining
performance at London’s famed Hammersmith Apollo, before putting in an
unforgettable live set at BBC Radio 1Xtra Live.
More recently, he performed at this summer’s
London’s Wireless Festival. The recognition Wizkid has received over the past
few years from both the industry and public alike has been nothing short of
impressive: in 2011, he won the MOBO award for Best African Act, and took home
a BET Award in 2012 for Best International Act: Africa.
