With growing, consistent international recognition and traction, musician AKA is proving yet again that this year is his year.
Kiernan Forbes, popularly known as AKA, was the only African artist to perform at the Black Entertainment Televison (BET) Experience event where he performed on the main stage which also showcased the likes of Snoop Dogg, Nick Cannon, Rae Sremmurd and Desiigner.
He also made an appearance and was interviewed on 106 and Park at the BET Experience. AKA was recognised at the BET Awards as a nominee in the best international act: Africa category for the second year in a row.
According to public relations company, Sheila Afari PR, his performance and appearances have fuelled further demand for his brand in the USA with both promoters and agents interested in bringing him back to the USA for a full tour.
The former St John’s College pupil is already set to have another USA performance on 4 July in New York at the popular Everyday People event and it seems this is just the beginning of many more international performances to come.

Recently named the Coolest Local Music Star of 2016 at the Sunday Times Generation Next Awards, AKA’s brand power has far transcended the hip-hop community.
AKA is continuously breaking ground as the first hip-hop artist to headline platforms traditionally reserved for musicians in the pop or rock genres and he will be breaking this mold yet again as he has been revealed as the headline act for the 2016 Rocking The Daisies festival.
