Year 2015 is fresh, the holidays are over and we are back at the office.
Connect Nigeria brings you 5 Nigerian artistes to watch out for this year.
Patoranking
He is one of the breakout stars of 2014 hitting us with his debut single, Alubarika featuring Timaya, then the smash hit, Girlie O remix featuring Tiwa Savage.
He has since released a couple of songs including the popular “Bora” with Olamide which addresses skin bleaching among Nigerian women.
He ended the year on a high note winning the highly coveted “Next Rated” award category at the Headies awards.
Critics already predict that his debut album will be released in 2015 and if so, Patoranking tops the list of artistes to watch out for in 2015.
2.
Runtown
Eric Manny signed artiste broke into the scene with his collaboration with ‘man of the year’ Davido on Gallardo, and is believed to have written Davido’s hit, Aye.
Runtown further released more singles including ‘Baby Answer’, and to prove he’s not a local champion, Runtown teamed up with South Africa’s hottest music producer, Uhuru, for his latest single, Banger.
With the continental single, Runtown steps his game up as fans ask for more; which we hope to see this year.
3.
Orezi
Fondly called ‘Alhaji Orezi’, Orezi had a wonderful 2014 kicking off the year with ‘Shoki’ then a french version and Hausa version.
He released a remix of his 2013 song, You Garrit featuring Wizkid before his December 2014 release, Shuperu.
Orezi ended the year with an endorsement deal with Merrybet and a debut album slated for release February ending or early March after several years of keeping fans waiting.
4.
Teckno
The Made Men Music artiste released one of the biggest club songs in 2014, Dance. He earlier released a popular mid tempo hit, ‘Holiday’ featuring Davido.
He and HKN act, B-Red, released their own version of the dance-turn-song ‘Shoki’.
Tipped to be the main focus of the Iyanya- owned Made Men Music in 2014, Teckno remains one of the talents to watch out for in 2015.
5.
Seyi Shay
For Seyi Shay, the battle is to top the 3 musketeers- Tiwa Savage, Waje and Omawumi, if she will have her reign in the music industry.
She debuted with the hit, Irawo, before going underground only to bounce back with a double hit in 2014- Crazy featuring Wizkid, and Murda featuring Patoranking.
Ending the year on the good note, Seyi Shay remains the female pop act to watch out for in 2015.
Other notable artistes to also watch out for this year include Lil Kesh, Slydee, Kiss Daniel, Yung L, Eva, Korede Bello and Reekado Banks.
