As Fans vote for the Rising Acts to Feature on the Hennessy
Artistry 2012 Club Tour…
After the announcement of M.I and Naeto C as this
year’s Hennessy Artistry headliners on Friday, July 20, 2012, the dynamic duo
have hit the studio this week to close off on the Hennessy Artistry 2012 theme
track, that they have been collaborating on in the past few weeks.
M.I and Naeto C are putting the finishing touches on their track
which will be released on Friday, August 3rd 2012.
Aside from blending top musicians with various styles and
personalities, Hennessy Artistry looks also to give the spotlight to rising
acts. In 2009 the Hennessy Artistry project was celebrated for the elevation of
the then younger artistes, Ice Prince, Bez and Mo’Cheddah. In 2012, Hennessy
Artistry will give the stage to rising artistes during a 22-venue Club Tour in
Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Hennessy Artistry is reaching out to fans and music lovers to
have their say and choose the rising artistes that will feature on the Club
Tour, to thrill fun lovers at the cognac house’s club nights. Fans can vote for
their favourite up and coming artistes via www.facebook.com and
decide on who they will like to see alongside M.I and Naeto C on this year’s
Hennessy Artistry train.
Last year, DavidO and Black Magic amongst others performed on
the Hennessy Artistry Club Tour as supporting acts. This year, fans will get to
choose between the following artistes –Burna Boy, Chuddy K, DammyKrane, Dpzle,
Flowssick and L.O.S. Other acts up for the public vote are Ms. Jaie, Rayce,
Solidstar, Tilla Man, Tunde Ednut and Vector.
All votes can be submitted easily through the Hennessy Nigeria
facebook page. www.facebook.com/hennessynigeria.
The final selection will be revealed soon.
The Club Tour will kick off at the end of August, after which
the 2012 Hennessy Artistry project will culminate in a series of VIP events,
headlined by M.I and Naeto C. Hennessy consumers will be treated to close-up
VIP sessions with the stars around the VIP events, and details of this
competition will be released soon.
Since Hennessy Artistry was first unveiled in Nigeria in 2007,
Hennessy Cognac has maintained its position as Nigeria’s and the world’s
leading cognac brand. Hennessy Artistry in the meantime has evolved from a
cocktail-mixing contest between renowned bartenders to a DJ battle, and now is
an important platform for experimental collaborations among multi-talented
artistes. Ice Prince, Nneka, Sir Shina Peters, Banky W, Eldee, Tiwa Savage and
Mo’Cheddah have worked with Hennessy Artistry over the years. Other artistes
include Bez, Kas and Jesse Jagz.
