The Night Before the Sierra Leone Music Industry Awards

Author: Hassan Iftoni with "The Verdict"

An Epic Prelude to History in the Making

The night before the Sierra Leone Music Industry Awards was nothing short of legendary. Superstars, celebrities, record executives, and industry movers from all walks of life gathered under one roof—not just to celebrate life, but to honor the long-awaited Sierra Leone Music Industry Awards happening TONIGHT.

The Sierra Leone Music Industry has come a long way. As Sierra Leonean, entertainers, and celebrities, we know we deserve this moment. This ceremony isn’t just another event, it’s a long-overdue milestone, a celebration of talent, dedication, and the culture we’ve built together.

Who Was in the Building?

The star power last night was unmatched:

Egerton Shabba was in the building.

Daddy Saj was in the building.

Hassan Iftoni was in the building.

Jekell the Hero was in the building.

Viperman was in the building.

DJ Lebbie was in the building.

Alusine Yansaneh (The Ambassador) was in the building.

Timbo was in the building.

DJ Sam I AM was in the building

Alusine 5 A Day Productions was in the building

DJ Star-Boy was in the building

…and many, many more.

It was an atmosphere to die for—love was shared, conversations flowed, and history was already in the making before the big night even began.

Tonight’s the Night

The Sierra Leone Music Industry Awards are set to deliver a groundbreaking night of performances, tributes, and unforgettable moments. This isn’t just an award show—it’s the heartbeat of a movement, the recognition of a legacy, and the start of a new chapter in Sierra Leone's music history.

Tonight, we will have our way with time, as stars collide from a constellation galaxy, all in the name of greatness. As we grace the moment and celebrate the first-ever Sierra Leone Music Industry Awards here in the UnitedStates, we invite YOU to join us and make history together.

You don’t want to miss this. The best of the best will be gracing the stage, and awards will be presented to the winners in their respective musical categories.

The stage is set. The stars are ready. History awaits.
