The 2024 B&O 3Music Awards made a spectacular comeback, filled with electrifying performances, unexpected wins, and memorable moments. One of the standout surprises of the night was the hotly contested Breakthrough Act of the Year category, which saw a host of talented newcomers vying for the prestigious honor.
Amid fierce competition, OlivetheBoy clinched the title, solidifying his status as one of the brightest rising stars in the Ghanaian music scene. This win came as no small feat, as the category was packed with exceptional talent, featuring nominees like Banzy Banero, DSL, King Paluta, Kwesi Amewugah, Maya Blu, Mophty, Oseikrom Sikanii, SevenKizs, and Xlimkid. Each of these artistes has made significant waves in the industry, making OlivetheBoy’s triumph even more noteworthy.
His victory rehashes the impact of his breakout year, particularly with the success of his hit song GOODSIN, which has taken both local and international audiences by storm. The Breakthrough Act of the Year category, which highlights new artists making a strong imprint on the music industry, is always one of the most exciting, and this year was no exception. OlivetheBoy’s win signals a new chapter in his already promising career, positioning him as a force to be reckoned with in the future of Afrobeats and Afropop.
This recognition not only marks a pivotal moment for OlivetheBoy but also exemplifies the 3Music Awards' commitment to spotlighting emerging talent and shaping the future of African music. His journey, from being a promising act to now a 3Music Award-winning artiste, serves as inspiration for the next generation of musicians looking to make their mark.
