Afropop Artist Tekno Drops Hot New Visual ‘Mufasa’
Critically acclaimed Nigerian-born Afropop artist Tekno kicks off the next season dropping his new single and music video entitled “Mufasa” released in partnership with SoundCloud.
On the single, produced by Yung Willis, Tekno‘s trademark transcendent production powers the momentum before his soulful voice echoes with passion and power. The ebb and flow of energy culminates with an unshakable and undeniable chorus. Meanwhile, the accompanying visual reflects this spirit and brings listeners closer to Tekno after unassumingly building buzz from the shadows.
Tekno continues to incite critically and fan excitement. Even though he’s built an audience of millions and averages nearly 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify, he has never given a formal interview. Yet, he’s quietly impacted the whole game through mega-collaborations with Drake, Beyoncé, Ciara, and more.
Being a multi-hyphenate, Tekno‘s tremendous influence on the rise of Afro-beats in the world also comes in the shape of his unique production skills. He wrote and produced fellow Nigerian artist Davido‘s international breakthrough song “If“, which earned him RIAA certified gold status, and led to working with and featuring for the likes of Beyonce, Ciara, Swae Lee, WizKid, and young Latin music sensation Omar Apollo.
?His accolades speak for themselves: four Nigerian Entertainment Award nominations, a BET award nomination, an MTV Africa Music Award nomination, two Headie Awards for Best Pop Single and Song of the Year. He has already amassed more than 200 million streams on Spotify, with his single “Pana” reaching more than 170 million views on YouTube. Having conquered the African continent, Tekno has relocated to the US and has set his sights on becoming a global phenomenon.
