AKA’s win comes just after receiving his fifth Best African Act nomination for the year. AKA has been nominated for a Headies Award, which celebrates 10 years this year. The prestigious ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 30 December at Landmark Event Center, Oniru, in Lagos, Nigeria, where AKA will attend.
“At the beginning of 2015, AKA and the Vth Season set the objective of establishing AKA as a leading musical superstar in Africa. Our nomination at the All Africa Music Awards alongside African stars such as Davido, Angelique Kidjo, Youssor N'dour, Salif Keita, and others demonstrates that AKA's music and brand have resonated with African music fans all over Africa and the world,” says Raphael Benza, founder and MD of The Vth Season.
Benza continues, “The goal was to make AKA a household name regionally. Winning the All Africa Music Award 2015 for Best African Collaboration, plus nominations as an African Artist of the Year at various other local and international award shows, signifies that AKA's exceptional talent and brand is up there with the best. We are very proud that he represents South Africa and the SADC region.”
