<h2>Since he announced himself on the big stage with an unforgettable verse on&nbsp;<strong>Mayorkun</strong>'s&nbsp;<em>'Holy Father',</em>&nbsp;Victony has become a highly-rated singer-songwriter whose services are highly sorted.&nbsp;</h2>

<p>With two EPs under his belt, Victony made a bold statement of intent with his second body of work<strong><em> 'Outlaw'</em></strong>. Since its release, Victony has lent his talent to several artists including <strong>Burna Boy</strong> for whom he delivered an Amapiano cut on the Grammy-nominated <strong><em>'Love, Damini'.</em></strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Out of his second EP came the sleeper hit<em> 'Soweto</em>' which has taken on a new lease of life in the past couple of months. Amidst the global ascension of Afrobeats,<em> 'Soweto' </em>sparked interest in TikTok and the <strong>Tempoe</strong>-assisted blend of Pop, Highlife, and exotic Calypso-like strings after being earlier overlooked.</p>

<p>With his stocks at an all-time high, Victony is set to take his hit record to a global audience and he's doing this with a series of remixes that will feature some of Afrobeats' biggest international stars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The first remix features <strong>Rema</strong> who currently holds the record for the highest-charting African song on Billboard Hot 100 and <strong>Don Toliver</strong> who's a popular figure in American Pop music.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are also verses fro<strong>m Omah Lay</strong> and <strong>CKay</strong> two of Afrobeats' most exciting talents with the former scoring the biggest global Afrobeats hit to date.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The remix offers an insight into Victony's intention to take the song to foreign listeners through the assistance of artists whose songs are leading Afrobeats' global charge.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The idea of having multiple versions also helps to serve different consumers who are drawn to different aspects of Afrobeats. An&nbsp;<strong>Omah Lay&nbsp;</strong>remix will service the local consumers who are taken by his Afropop sound while a possible&nbsp;<strong>CKay</strong>&nbsp;remix will be a pleasure in the ears of European Afrobeats fans many of whose first interaction with the genre came with&nbsp;<em>'Love Nwantiti'.</em>&nbsp;</p>
