Billboard Names Tekno Among 10 Hip- Hop & R&B Acts To Watch In 2017

Tekno ends the year by getting named among Billboard Magazine’s 10 Hip-Hop& R&B Acts To Watch In 2017.

Tekno already has a number of hits in Nigeria, and Columbia Records took note, throwing its weight behind this agile, elastic-voiced singer.

Tekno’s “Pana,” which has already accumulated more than 13 million views on YouTube and inspired a minor version of a video challenge, is romantic and light on its feet with little more than a nagging guitar line and squirts of bass,everything pegged to a serpentine forward march.

There’s clearly a demand in the mainstream for feathery dance cuts like this one: close your eyes and imagine a smart radio programmer cueing this up after Drake’s “Too Good”.
