Award-winning musician and songwriter Nikita Kering’ is ecstatic as she got featured on New York Times Square billboard in the United States courtesy of Spotify.
This comes after the 20 year old songstress was named the streaming app’s Equal program ambassador for the month of November.
Nikita who recently released her album in early November dubbed ‘The Other Side’ could not hide her joy on seeing her name and photo on the faces of the skyscrapers in the city of New York.
“I’m just grateful Equal Africa Ambassador. Thank you Spotify Africa for the opportunity to represent this initiative. Cheers to many more wins,” she wrote in an appreciation post.
New York City is the most populous city in the United States with a population of 8,804,190.
After her nomination by Spotify for the initiative, Nikita joins the long list of female artists from Africa who had been ambassadors of the program previously.
Spotify names an Equal Ambassador each month to honor game-changers across the entertainment industry and luckily Kering’ was named the ambassador in November 2022.
Singers who get the opportunity to be ambassadors of the program are known to stand out and showcase high levels of confidence, compassion, and, of course, fierceness in their work in the entertainment industry.
Other Kenyan female musicians who have previously been named as ambassadors of the initiative are Muthoni Drummer Queen and Sylvia Ssaru.
Fellow artists and media personalities flocked Nikita’s comment section with congratulatory messages. Here’s what some of them had to say:
okwarayvonne YEEEEES!! 👏👏👏👏
