Black Sherif, a singer from Ghana, has received recognition from BBC 1 Xtra as one of the talents to watch through their coveted Hotfor2023 initiative.
Blacko was selected alongside a number of outstanding musicians who, in the opinion of the British black music powerhouse, are expected to soar in 2023 and beyond.
The popular British female quartet Flo, Doechi, Cristale, Nemzz, Ayra Starr, and Debbie are just a few of the musicians who made the list.
The Villain I Never Was, the debut studio album by Black Sherif, which he released in 2022 and is still charting on different digital streaming services, was a huge success.
He successfully headlined his own shows in both the UK and Ghana, and he delivered an outstanding performance on the 25th MOBO Awards main stage at the OVO arena in Wembley, UK.
