MOI Awards 2025 opened its Music Trailblazer category with one clear story in mind: the steady, fearless evolution of Adekunle Gold.
From his early days as a highlife-influenced singer to his current status as a global Afrobeats and pop star, Adekunle Gold has refused to stay in one creative box.
MOI Awards recognised how he has used each new project to experiment with sound, image and storytelling, while still carrying the emotional honesty that drew fans to him in the first place.
Over the years, he has blended highlife, Afrobeats, pop, soul and now even fuji influences into music that feels both deeply Nigerian and globally ready.
Alongside the hits and sold-out shows, he has been open about his personal journey and health struggles, and used his platform to inspire and support others.
For MOI Awards, the Music Trailblazer title is about more than charts. It is about artists who open doors, shift expectations and prove that reinvention is possible without losing authenticity. Adekunle Gold’s win is a nod to his courage, his creativity and his growing role as one of the key voices taking contemporary Nigerian music to the world.
