BurnaBoy
Burna Boy is a record-breaking superstar in Afro-fusion and one of the key artists in making the genre popular worldwide. The Nigerian-born artist has won several awards, including a Grammy, and was the first African artist to sell out major concert venues in the US, including the legendary Hollywood Bowl and Madison Square Garden. Burna Boy’s popularity has grown steadily since the beginning of his career in the early 2010s. His sixth studio album, Love, Damini, including the hit Last Last, reached all-time highest positions for an African artist on the charts in several countries in 2022.
The music of Burna Boy is a distinctive fusion of Afrobeat, dancehall, reggae, hip hop, and other styles. He is an exceptional talent as a singer, songwriter, and stage performer, and he has collaborated with international A-list artists such as Chris Martin, Sia, Youssou N’Dour, Angélique Kidjo, and Ed Sheeran. Burna Boy’s worldwide success has not made him forget his roots, so the rich culture of Africa is still present in his music.
In 2025, Burna Boy is more relevant than ever. This year, he has made history by selling out the UK’s largest indoor arena, Co-op Live, and becoming the first African artist to sell out the Stade de France in Paris. Additionally, Burna Boy is set to release an eagerly awaited new album this year, which promises to take his sound even further.
