This initiative is set to roll out fully in 2025, giving talented artists from Africa a chance to shine internationally.
From his discovery in 2012 by Brymo Music to his growth as a producer at Fineboy Entertainment, where he worked alongside Duncan Mighty, Vikwyn’s journey is marked by a dedication to innovation. Today, he collaborates with high-profile artists like Zlatan and Emmbock, merging street and Afro sounds that resonate widely. His single “Ifeoma” and various covers showcase his talent and the emotion behind his music.
As he continues to lead XXVIBE MUSIC and MUSICPLANET, Vikwyn’s impact on the Afrobeats genre will undoubtedly reach new heights, promising both fresh sounds and a support system for future African stars.
