Nikita Kering, a multiple award-winning Kenyan singer and songwriter, has been named the ‘Spotify EQUAL Africa Artiste’ for November.
Phiona Okumu, Spotify’s Head of Music for Sub-Saharan Africa, announced this in a statement on Monday.
Okumu said Kering had joined the group of featured female artistes from the continent who exude confidence, compassion and fierceness.
She said the singer had built a formidable career at just 20 years old.
According to Okumu, the Spotify EQUAL Africa program aimed to provide female artists with the support and resources they needed to advance their careers and reach global audiences via multiple playlists.
She said that the beneficiaries also receive off-platform guidance and tools to help take their music careers to even greater heights.
“As a company known for being at the forefront of empowering artistes since it was founded, Spotify is proud to have the talented Nikita Kering join the EQUAL Africa family as the artiste for November.
“We are looking forward to working with her to help build on her growing fan base,” she said.
