This outstanding victory cements his position as a dominant figure in the world of West African music, thanks to his distinctive style and compelling storytelling.
The ‘West African Artiste of The Year’ category was designed to honor artists of West African origin who made significant contributions to the continent’s music landscape throughout the year.
Black Sherif’s undeniable impact and his increasing global reach made him the clear standout choice for this accolade.
While he also received a nomination for ‘African Artiste of The Year,’ an honor ultimately bestowed upon Rema, this recognition underscores his widespread influence that extends far beyond West Africa.
Blacko beats his compatriots with the likes of Gyakie and Camindoh as well as Liberian singer The Therapist.
The 16th edition of Headies Awards 2023 hosted at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta, was a celebration of the growing prominence of African music on the global stage.
