BET Awards Has Helped Me-Stonebwoy

In 2015, Stonebwoy made history as the
first Ghanaian Dancehall act to win the
‘Best International Act: Africa’ award at
the Black Entertainment Television
(BET) Awards.
He tells Kenyan Newspaper Sunday Nation winning the
award “has thrown enough light on what I do, the style
of music I do: Afro beats, reggae, dancehall.”
He beat Nigerians Wizkid and Yemi Alade, South
Africans AKA and The Soil, Congolese Fally Ipupa and
Kenyan group Sauti Sol.
He adds: “I’ve got collaborations all across the continent
and some opportunities in the US. ”
The ‘Go Higher’ artiste was recently in Kenya recording
a session for the second season of the Coke Africa
Studio with Ethiopian act, Haile.
Unlike other artistes, Stonebwoy appreciates
nominations at awards schemes even if he does not
win.
“First of all, I am one artiste who appreciates nominations
even more because, if you’re five artistes picked from
thousands for an award that can only be won by one, the
joy is in being acknowledged. Then to hear my name
mentioned, I was like “Things have gone down well”
because people voted to show support; that they want
this person to win. They believed in my thing and they
cast their votes behind me.”
He will be performing this weekend at the One Africa
Music Festival at the Barclays Center, United States of
America.
