9ice Made History Today

When 9NICE said he intends to be the first Nigerian artist to ever win a Grammy, critics wrote him off as someone making noise because of his monster hit GONGO ASO. But today he gets even closer to his dream when he performed at Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert (London) to a crowd of 50,000? This is the biggest exposure ever for a Nigeria artist. I am so proud of him, he has done really well. Wishing him the very best

GONGO ASO..

London stands still as 9ice, Papa Wemba, others sing birthday song for Mandela @ 90

Wave-making Nigerian artiste, 9ice, his manager and an official of Celtel Nigeria, will depart Nigeria today aboard a Virgin Atlantic flight to the United Kingdom, to join a galaxy of international artists to commence the rehearsal for the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Music Concert in London.

Wave-making musician, 9ice yesterday joined more than a dozen of Africa’s most respected artistes like Johnny Clegg, Soweto Gospel Choir and Papa Wemba and many international artistes including the multi-million selling classical pop singer Josh Groban, legendary folk rock singer Joan Baez, singer Amy Winehouse and Jerry Dammers, one of the organisers of Artists Against Apartheid and Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday concert and whose song ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ became a banner for the 80’s anti-apartheid movement in UK, to thrill almost fifty thousand people who thronged the London’s Hyde Park for the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Concert.

9ice had the privilege of being the only Nigerian musician that performed at the epoch-making concert in honour of the Nobel Laureate and former South African President, Dr. Nelson Mandela, a show watched by over a billion people across the globe, and sponsored by telecommunication giant, Zain Group, owners of Celtel Internatiional, which operates in several African countries such as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, Burkina Faso, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Kenya, Malawi, Madagascar, Niger, and a soon to be launched operations in Ghana.
The roll call of artistes that also featured at the London concert included Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey and Razorlight, and virtually many big names in the industry who account for multi millions of record sales in recent years.

9ice, who rendered his hit song, “Gongo Aso” to the teeming crowd also joined other renowned artistes like Papa Wemba, to render a birthday song for the African icon for freedom and democracy. Many of the world’s most powerful and instantly recognisable figures joined the crowd in paying tributes to one of the world’s most loved leaders, Nelson ‘Madiba’ Mandela, as he turned 90.

Uncle Sola I have to disagree with you on that I think the following tracks are nice apart from Gongo Aso

- Street Credibility (Duet with Tuface)
- Photocopy
