In a surprising turn of events, Liya has been crowned the winner of the Best Vocal Performance (Female) category at the 17th Headies Awards for her powerful track “I’m Done”. Her emotive vocal delivery and captivating presence in the song earned her this prestigious accolade.
Liya’s win is particularly remarkable considering the stiff competition she faced from some of the biggest names in African music. Ayra Starr, with her hit “Last Song Heartbreak”, Niniola’s energetic performance on “Level”, Simi’s soulful “Stranger”, and Yemi Alade’s powerful “Tomorrow” were all favorites in the category, but it was Liya’s undeniable vocal talent that stood out.
