  • Rayvanny's triumphs spanned across multiple categories, including Best Male Artist - East Africa, Best Album/EP - East Africa, Best Songwriter - East Africa, Best Lover's Choice Single - East Africa, and Best Inspirational Single - East Africa.

Dar es Salaam. In the bustling corridors of East African streets, Rayvanny, the illustrious Bongo Flava artiste and proprietor of Next Level Music, emerged triumphant, clutching five prestigious trophies from the East Africa Arts Entertainment Awards (EAEA).

His radiant smile, a testament to his gratitude, illuminated the night as he expressed profound appreciation to the National Arts Council (Basata) for orchestrating his victory.

"I praise the National Arts Council (Basata) immensely for their hard work," Rayvanny exclaims, acknowledging Basata's pivotal role in sculpting Tanzania's musical landscape into a beacon of excellence within the African continent.

"We have transformed Tanzanian music into the best in Africa, the credit goes to all of us," he humbly proclaims.

This momentous achievement, a testament to Rayvanny's unwavering dedication to his craft, marks a significant milestone in his musical journey.

Stepping out of the shadows of WCB, Rayvanny's triumphs spanned across multiple categories, including Best Male Artist - East Africa, Best Album/EP - East Africa, Best Songwriter - East Africa, Best Lover's Choice Single - East Africa, and Best Inspirational Single - East Africa.

Notably, Rayvanny's success eclipsed even the formidable talents of Diamond Platnumz and Harmonize, erstwhile comrades from the esteemed Wasafi Classic Baby (WCB) music label.

Despite their individual accolades, it was Rayvanny who emerged as the night's shining star, a testament to his resilience and artistic prowess.

Reflecting on his journey since departing from WCB and establishing his own label, Rayvanny's ascent to prominence began in 2016, when he was first signed by Diamond.

Since then, he has carved his own path, leaving an indelible mark on the Tanzanian music scene and beyond.

As the echoes of applause continue, Rayvanny stands as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring artistes, a living testament to the transformative power of talent, hard work, and unwavering determination.
