"Telecoms, Corporate bodies, Financial institutions, and every single person who has supported me in one way or the other - I say a heartfelt THANK YOU. Without you, this story would not be complete. This milestone is not mine alone; it belongs to all of us who have walked this journey together. My African queens and kings, you have carried me, inspired me, and kept me going through the highs and lows.

This years celebration has been postponed, not canceled, because I want to do it differently, to merge my 50ir birthday and my 29 years in the industry into one unforgettable experience, it will be a time to share stories, give thanks, end celebrate the power of music."
