Nigerian music stars who got their breakthrough in 2022

After successfully sweeping the globe in 2020, Nigerian music has sustained its influence and maintained its reputation.

 

The incredible skill of those involved in the Nigerian music scene and the influx of fresh artists are what make it so wonderful.

Afrobeat music is becoming increasingly popular in Africa because to performers like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

Tems, Ayra Starr, Majixx, Victony, Ckay, Adekunle Gold, Baby boy AV, Fave, Ruger, Zinoleesky, and Fireboy DML were among the artists that successfully made their debuts in 2022.

In this post, we highlight musicians that, in our opinion, achieved their big break in 2022.

Salle

Gospel Kosisochukwu Peter, who goes by the stage name Salle, is a 17-year-old musician from Imo state. She was really quite young at the time she began singing. She gained national attention and popularity after a great YouTube video of her singing a song she had written went viral.

After Mufasa Tunde Ednut, a well-known influencer, released the video, it quickly gained a lot of views. She also got Don Jazzy and Rihanna’s endorsements. Unfortunately, she was unable to secure a record deal and has since been making music independently.

Majeed
Majeeed, otherwise known as Ekeh Chiaka Joseph, is an Imo state-born singer and composer. The musician is progressively moving from being a rising Nigerian musician to becoming well-known.

He is a recording artist under Dream Empire. His debut album, Bitter Sweet, which was just released, debuted in Apple Music Nigeria’s top 10.

Kayode

Future Nigerian independent singer, producer, and songwriter SirBastien will debut in 2022. He specializes on R&B music in particular. Even though SirBastien is still an unsigned artist, Mr. Eazi’s emPawa Africa published the music video for his song “home with you” featuring Remy Baggins and Daynim.

He is an unsigned artist, although he has already published three projects. Amaarae and Santi are two musicians he has expressed that he would want to collaborate with.
