One of Nigeria’s biggest award ceremonies, Sound City MVP is going down live on January 5, 2019 and the full list of nominees has been released.
The Soundcity MVP Awards Festival (“TheMVPs” or “MVP”) is an event presented by Soundcity TV which awards plaques to musicians and performers across Africa.
Since 2007, the winners are chosen by the viewers and fans by visiting #TheMVPs’ website and a select committee of the industry stakeholder. The first MVPs ceremony will hold on the 29th of December in Lagos, Nigeria.
The likes of Shatta Wale, Sarkodie Kwesi, Sarkodie, R2bess, Kidi, King Promise, Becca, Efya, DJ Vyrusky and Kuame Eugene all earned a spot in the nomination list released.
Shatta Wale’s highly successful Gringo video is vying for the Video of the Year and we think he would win it hands down.
