How many African artistes can claim that their music has been played on mainstream UK radio? Now, out of that sparse number, how many female African artistes can say the same? Only one. Meet May7ven.
Choice FM, a major radio station in the UK, playlisted our very own May7ven’s two consecutive single releases back-to-back on national radio recently. The Afrobeats Queen continues to break boundaries in getting African music noticed by a wider audience as her single “Hey Mr” was also one of the songs featured on Afrobeats The Ultimate Collection compilation album which entered the Top 20 on the UK iTunes chart.
Her prowess as a musician and performer has not gone unnoticed, with May7ven drawing accolades and plaudits from all corners of the African Music landscape, the latest of which comes from the Kokomaster himself, D’Banj, who in his first exclusive interview of 2013 told Beat FM’s Toolz on Ndani TV that May7ven is indeed “a Queen!”
