Music Artist Udeigwe Gets “Artist Of The Year” Award

The Yessiey Awards ceremony has left sweet and beautiful fragrances on personalities who were recognised in various categories.

For music artist Lawrence Udeigwe, winning the Artist of the Year award will certainly drive more engagement in his music career. Udeigwe has recently been spending quality social time performing ‘tiny desk’ sessions at lounges, including the Hard Rock Café on Victoria Island, Lagos, and the Cabin in Surulere, Lagos. Spectacular in Udeigwe’s musical work is the Afro and Jazz mix, which gives a soothing sense of a touch of Africa and the world.

Industry watchers have also testified to Yemisi Shyllon’s enviable appetite for art collection. His home museum in Maryland, Lagos, holds a wealth of art collections. Just name it, and you would find the art pieces in Shyllon’s museum  paintings, sculptures, mixed-media installations, and other forms of cultural arts documented in that location. His recognition as the Yessiey Art Personality of the Year is well-deserved.

Dinah Lugard’s win as the Yessiey Woman of the Year is a great deal because, beyond operating in the discipline of electrical engineering and cybersecurity, she is the powerhouse behind ‘The Cure Initiative for Individuals with Substance Abuse’ NGO and SoberTech.

This initiative is mending lives , a charitable effort creating a better society. The honour was also deserved by Elena Maroulleti, who was announced as the Yessiey Personality of the Year. She is a notable American independent journalist operating AKTINA FM.

In its tradition of celebrating excellence and remarkable achievements that impact society, the Yessiey Awards also recognised and honoured Dekunle Okunrinboye, as the Yessiey Man of the Year. Amiable and dedicated,
