Mayorkun emerged as the Next Rated at the 12th edition of the Headies award, going home with not just the plaque but a brand new car.
Mayorkun was named Rookie of the year at the 2016 edition of the Headies and in a year where he has shown growth, evolution and consistency, the budding talent has now added the much coveted Headies ‘Next Rated’ award to his name.
Back in February 2016, Mayorkun had posted a short clip of himself on the keyboard rendering his vocals to the single, ‘The Money’ by Olamide and Davido, the young artist who says all he had was a dream, had taken a leap of faith and called out to Davido for help, and in a manner not totally unusual, the O.B.O reached out to him and the rest, like they say is history.
