This year appears to be a very competitive one as so many artistes did exceptionally well in terms of groundbreaking records, international recognitions, topnotch awards and fast growing fanbaze. Artistes like Wizkid, Adekunle Gold, Simi, Ycee, Tekno, Yemi Alade, Falz and Mr Eazi have all proved to be strong contender to be crowned Nigerian Artiste of The Year.
It is true that singling only one artiste from the list would be very difficult but it won’t really come as a surprise if Tekno tops the rest to clinch the titled of being tagged the biggest Nigerian artiste for year 2016. Looking at his portfolio for this year you would agree with me that the once average artiste who came into the industry as an underdog has really grown and his music has evolved making him the brightest star for the year.



Tekno started the year on a good note with his hit single “Duro” released the previous year but which was still heavily trending into the new year 2016. The remix of the song also kept the flame of the song burning into 2016 and he followed it with another club charting song “Wash” and “Where“. His first single for 2016 was “Pana” and the immense love and support it got from fans and the media was massive. The song actually became the most played song on every radio stations and it became a national anthem on the street. Pana was able to knockoff every other songs off major music charts across the country and remained the number song for many weeks. His recent single “Diana” has a slow start but it’s currently picking up as the song is gradually becoming a hit like we anticipated.



To crown up his successfull year he was nominated for various awards. He won Best New Act at this years MTV MAMA and he also got a nomination slot at this years Headies for Next Rated Artiste category. The Pana crooner surprised us just when we thought we’ve seen all he has to offer for the year, he announced his signing to Sony Music making him the latest artiste signed by the award winning music management company.



Offcourse I don’t expect everyone to agree with me on whether Tekno is the biggest Nigerian artiste for the year when the likes of Wizkid and Falz are there but from his achievement he stands on thesame pedastal with this other super talented artistes who have made 2016 a very interesting one for us.
