Nigerian Singer & Songwriter MKO setting pace in Dubai

MKO, Dubai based Nigerian artiste, is a gifted singer songwriter, true at his art and music genre, doing Nigerians proud with his melodious beautiful catchy soul and Afro Pop tunes.

A careful look into some of his past collaborations and singles like Still Into and Good Lovin’ RnB flavored songs compelled us into doing more digging about him.

 

MKO has been in the UAE for a few years. He is a professional during the day, and his love for music keeps his nocturnal activities on the high.

 

 

As if dishing out good songs wasn't enough, he started and pioneered an art event platform in Dubai called "Art Fusion Night" where he showcases raw untapped talents from around the world, entertaining a diverse crowd.

 

On his platform you will find talents such as MKO performing their songs

 

And artists showing off their artwork;

 

Showing off live painting sessions of icons;

 

 

And even showing off live body painting skills;

All this is usually topped with beautiful models wowing audiences on the runway while showcasing creative designs by UAE based designers;


 

And between the acts, the crowd is kept thrilled all nightlong with live music performances from diverse bands where his audience gets to enjoy Afrobeats music:

 

Mixed with popular pop music;

 

Hence why his platform is called Art Fusion Night;

 

With over 27 songs already recorded and 5 music videos to his credit, MKO is a non-stop machine as he is constantly working. To top all this, he models occasionally:

 

One cannot stop but wonder where he gets the energy to maintain a full-time job, still record good music, go for gigs and organize elaborate events such as Art Fusion Night. Even though MKO is yet to be given the recognition he truly deserves in the Nigerian music scene that has not stopped him from giving other musicians an open mic including Nigerians and talents from other parts of the world a platform to be heard and seen. There is no refuting the fact that music is what propels and fuels him to go extra mile. Nonetheless, he has to his credit numerous A-list Nigerian celebrities whom he has performed on shows with in Dubai. To name a few, he has performed on the same shows as Davido, D’Banj Ice Prince, Patoranking etc.

 

MKO is by far one of the key Nigerian art related influencers there is to know in Dubai.

 

Our beloved MKO represents Nigeria and the motherland to the fullest. His music enjoys radio and TV airplays from Nigeria to Ghana and club plays in East Africa as well as UAE.

 

Ghana radio stations have been showing much love and support for MKO and his brand and style of music, it's no gainsaying that Ghanaians could swoop in and give him the love they gave Mr. Eazi, thereby making us loose out on this beautiful gifted singer who is representing us well.

 

MKO is available on Instagram @mko9jaboy and here are links to some of MKO’s videos:
