The Music Television (MTV) Base on Wednesday released
hand-picked list of artistes across the African continent, who are expected to
make it big in the music scene in 2017.
This disclosure is contained in a release signed by Anita
Ayidu, Public Relations Officer of Black House Media.
The Vice President of BET, Youth and Music, Viacom
International Media Networks Africa, Monde Twala, said that it was the annual
list of artistes, who could hopefully make a positive impact.
He said, “They are the “ones to watch” and it is our belief
that they will do great things this 2017 year.
“It is awesome how the artistes on the 2016 list performed,
how much the support we provided has helped the artistes build their careers
both locally and internationally.”
Twala noted that the list was compiled by the MTV Base music
and talent experts from across the continent.
He said, “They are the list of 55 established and
up-and-coming artistes based on the channels assessment of various artistes.
“Their current and future potential include, sales
performances, popularity buzz, radio and video airplay, style and other
intangible factors.”
The vice president, however, said that MTV Base would support
the “ones to watch’’ artistes as much as possible throughout 2017.
“We will do this through building their profiles via on air
and online exposure, play-listing their repertoire, supporting key video
releases and involving them in MTV Base events and gigs,” he said.
