| Performance Notes | Globally adored music superstar WizKid will make his Royal Albert Hall debut in 2017 as part of the Albert Sessions. In 2016, this young Nigerian-born singer achieved global prominence when he collaborated with Drake on One Dance, which reached number one in 15 countries. He picked up a staggering number of accolades including Best Worldwide Act at the MTV EMAs, Best African Act at the British MOBO Awards, and a huge seven nominations at the Billboard Music Awards 2017.
His irresistible musical style, which combines rhythms from Afro-Beat, reggae, hip-hop and dance hall, speaks to WizKids vision of 21st century youth culture where all the music of the world is coming together. Alongside his Albert Session performance, WizKid will be working with the Halls Education and Outreach team to offer an exclusive experience for a group of young people.
The Albert Sessions enable artists who have not previously headlined at the Royal Albert Hall to offer cut-price tickets to fans, and engage with the Halls Education and Outreach programme by offering a bespoke educational opportunity for young people.
Wizkid became the first Afrobeats artist to headline the Hall.
The concert was filmed and broadcast online on Facebook and made freely available online via video platforming sites. |
