It has been a good year for Duncan Mighty as he has become a favourite of Nigerian artistes for his Port Harcourt spice.
The artiste whose songs Ijeoma, Port Harcourt son, Ako Na Uche and Obianuju won him international acclaim seemed to have disappeared from the music scene until his recent feature on Wizkid’s Fake Love. Since then, he has made hit songs with Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Davido among others.
The “Port Harcourt first son” gets his fourth nomination in the The Nigerian Entertainment Awards (NEA) for Most Promising Act To Watch. In 2011, he won the “Indigenous Artist of the Year”.
The 13th edition of the awards will see him compete with other nominees in 20 categories.
Come the 10th of November, the awards will hold at Washington DC.
