Burna Boy is Apple Music’s ‘Up Next’ ArtisteAfro-fusion artiste Burna Boy has been selected by Apple Music to become the latest artiste for their ‘Up Next’ series.

The Up Next program is created by Apple to support rising artistes. Each month ‘Up Next’ selects a rising artist for which Apple Music uses all its resources to give their music visibility to new audiences. This will include an introductory documentary shot on the artiste, an audio EP from a live session which will include an interview and live performance on Beats 1 and an appearance on  The Late Late Show With James Corden which Apple Music partnered with.

Speaking about the collaboration in his Beats 1 interview with Julie Adenuga, the ‘Ye’ singer expressed his excitement by saying;

“I’m super excited to be part of the Apple Music Up Next campaign, … Apple continuously comes up with new initiatives to support artists globally and push the African culture. It’s an honor to be a part of this and with my African Giant album coming out soon, the timing is perfect.” 

From the snippet of the documentary, the singer was heard talking about the birth of his relationship with music adding that;

“My granddad was a DJ in Lagos; all the records would come to him first … I would find myself being inspired by things that I’ve heard as a kid: Nigerian music or African music, some French music or some Jamaican music. When it’s time for music to be made, it’s almost like my ancestors just come into me and then it’s them.”

Speaking about Burna’s collaboration with Apple Music, Apple Music’s Global Editorial Head of Hip-Hop and R&B, Ebro Darden also had this to say;

“Burna Boy has built his brand his way and has been on fire all over Africa and the UK …  He does things his way and Apple Music is honored to be able to connect with Burna Boy on this moment and help make the name even more well known!”

The exclusive documentary with Apple Music will be dropping on the 16th of July after which his new album, African Giant, will be released on 26th July.

Burna Boy currently holds the title to BET’s best international act for the year under review and his performance from he just ended Coachella has been adjudged on of his best.
