Kiss Daniel whom according to his fans
should have won the Next Rated award wrote an open letter to his fans to
express his gratitude for their faith in him. He wtote:
“When I opened my social media accounts
this morning, it was humbling for me to see that so many people believe
that I deserve recognition for the work I was able to do last year by
the grace of God. But like Thomas a Kempis famously wrote; “Man
proposes, but God disposes”.
To see that fans across different social
audiences appreciate the efforts I put into making my music is one I
will never look down upon, no award beats that, and I hope to be able to
repay this confidence in good time.
My fans have been the most amazing
source of inspiration for me, and I promise never to let you down. From
the days when I was nobody in this industry, to song after song that you
have helped become hits, I say God bless you for all the support.
To be honest, it was quite heartbreaking
to find out that I did not get the particular recognition I so much
craved, but I am excited that it only means I need to work harder, and
that 2016 will be a bigger year for me.
In 2015, some of the awards I won with
your support include; ‘Best New Act’ at the Nigerian Entertainment
Awards (NEA), Next Rated Artiste of The Year at the Extreme Awards in
Benin Republic, AFRIMA Awards Most Promising Act in Africa.
I also found out I was one of the top 5
Google Top Trending Nigerian Musicians. For an artiste with less than 10
songs to my name, I think this is enough for me to congratulate myself
upon.
This year 2016 is going to be bigger and
better; my debut album drops this year, and with the work put into it
by myself, my team, and that of the artistes magnanimous enough to
feature on it, I am positive that this will be the year.
I also want to use this opportunity to
tell the fans to look out for the forthcoming single of my label mate
and brother “Sugarboy” dropping in few days from now, as we at
G-Worldwide Entertainment will continue to bring you good music.
I thank you all; my fans for always
supporting me, the media platforms who continue to keep me in the
public’s mind, the industry seniors who have made it their job to guide
and mentor, and the members of my team who work behind the scenes to
make sure I keep my head level and continue to make great music. Special
shoot-out to my label boss “Emperor Geezy” who continues to bring the
best out of me.
I wish you all a happy New Year, and hope you have a good time in 2016.
ANIDUGBE OLUWATOBILOBA DANIEL (KISS DANIEL)
Almost forgot, thanks to the good guys
at The Guardian UK for giving me a mention in The playlist: the best
African pop of 2015″.
