The year 2014 was a dynamic year in the Nigerian entertainment industry. It was a year that shot some relatively unknown artistes to the limelight and reinforced the dominance of some already established acts in the industry. In this piece, Saturday Beats highlights some of the stars to watch out for in 2015.

Wizkid

In 2014, Wizkid ended his contract with Banky W’s Empire Mates Entertainment record label and established his own label – Star boy.

He released his much anticipated album, Ayo, to the delight of fans, dishing out some club bangers in the process.

Already, Star boy, as the singer is fondly called, has announced that he has another album ready and it would be released later in the year.

Indeed Wizkid means business in 2015.

Davido

For Davido, 2014 was the year as the entertainer racked up various awards within and outside the country. Although, he lost out in the prestigious Channel O Music Video Award despite having five nominations, the singer has assured fans that 2015 would be better.

Besides bagging various awards, the pop singer frequently laughed to the bank last year courtesy of his various endorsement deals. A few days ago, the singer announced that he is now an ambassador of Close-Up toothpaste. And for lovers of his songs, Davido recently released a new song titled, Owo ni koko. It is his Yuletide gift to all lovers of his music, he said.

Flavour

According to reports, Flavour sold over a million copies of his album in just seven days of its release. Though, the singer refused to verify the claim, 2014 was no doubt a successful one for Flavour. Apart from releasing a much awaited album, the singer sealed several mouth-watering deals especially with several big brands in the telecommunications sector. To crown a wonderful year, the singer gave birth to a baby girl with his lover, Sandra Okagbue. Flavour is surely one of the household names to watch out for in 2015.

Olamide

His has been a meteoric rise to the top. Whichever way you look at it, Baddo as the artiste is fondly referred to, rocked the biggest stages in 2014. Apart from being one of the most sought-after artistes in the previous year, most of his songs became massive hits among fans, enjoying huge airplay across the country.

For his efforts, Olamide bagged several awards including two at the Headies. His recently released album, Street OT, is receiving positive reviews and his show last weekend, Olamide Live in Concert, was well attended.

Phyno

From East to West, North to South, his tunes are on everyone’s lips.

Phyno, like Olamide and Flavour, is another musician who left us jamming at every of his beats throughout 2014. A distinct appearance combined with an alluring brand of music, Phyno ended 2014 as one of the most featured artistes. In 2015, he is sure going to be in the forefront of action.
