More global legends are spotting the talent in the Ghanaian superstar Black Sherif.
American musician, Akon is the latest to join the tall list of celebrities finding life in the Konongo-born artiste’s craft.
The business mogul said he was sold from the first time he was put on Blacko’s sound by his Malian friend.
The ‘Lonely’ crooner was speaking on BBC Radio 1Xtra.
The jump, the pain, hunger and struggle he felt in Black Sherif’s voice left him with no doubt that Black Sherif is on to something epic.
The Senegalese-American singer and songwriter says he has been a fan ever since and may end up signing the 20-year-old singer if need be.
“I’m a huge fan of Black Sherif, he reminded me of the energy of myself when I first came out, you could literally hear the pain, the struggle and the challenges in his voice whenever he sings.”
Love that @Akon is a huge fan of @blacksherif_ 🤩
