“The journey keeps going,” he told NME. “My career has been electrifying and I’ll keep doing the same”.
When asked about what it’s like to be one of the top artists among Jamaica’s influential music scene, he assured us that “it’s hard work too… It’s ongoing work for Skillibeng”.
And he credited the success of his “electrifying” career to his “genuine fans” for his acclaim: “It’s a feeling of happiness and appreciation to my fans. I have a lot of general fans who support me so it’s a great feeling.”
Hosted at the capital’ s OVO Wembley Arena, the 25th MOBO Awards is the third time Skillibeng — real name Emwah Warmington — has ever been in London, and he was happy that he got to meet some fans here too: “The people mess with Skillibeng heavy in London so it’s always great energy here when I interact with the people here,” he added.
