During a private media and VIP brunch in Hollywood, Ayo Animashaun, founder and executive producer of The Headie Awards – the global music awards show celebrating excellence in African music – officially kicked off the #RoadMapToTheHeadies.
This year, The Headies will be broadcast from the United States for the first time in its 15-year history.
Since 2006, The Headies has recognized outstanding achievements in Nigerian music.
As the music industry across the continent continued to grow, giving rise to mega stars like Wizkid (Nigeria), TooFan (Togo), Fally Ipupa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Sarkodie (Ghana), and past award recipient Yemi Alade (Nigeria), The Headies also became a bold celebration of the various genres and sounds evolving from more traditional African music.
Over the course of the awards’ wildly successful run, The Headies have become the most coveted prize for African artists and music industry stakeholders.
The 2022 Headies will be held at the Cobb Galleria Center in Atlanta on September 4, 2022. For more information, visit theheadies.com.
