A massive thank you to VEVO for supporting my music and highlighting me as an Artist To Watch. I had so much fun creating my DSCVR video and it’s such an honour to be placed alongside such amazing artists also doing their thing.” – Shaybo

“Fiery, feisty and unapologetically confident, Shaybo grabbed my attention from the first listen. It’s always a sight to behold to watch a strong woman break through in such a male-dominated scene, and Shaybo brings an additional worldliness to the genre that sets her apart. It’s an incredible experience to listen to her deliver hard bars, then switch into Yoruba as a salute to her Nigerian heritage. I’m thrilled to have her on our list this year, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for the undisputed Queen of The South.” – Carl Young, Head of Music & Talent, EU
“We’re very proud to announce our DSCVR Artists to Watch list for 2021, now in its 7th year. This is so much more than just a list for us; capturing performances from these artists and providing video content for fans to engage with on a global scale.” says JP Evangelista, SVP of Content, Programming & Marketing, “The health of our team and artists alike is of utmost importance to Vevo. We were pleased to be able to shoot and deliver these performances with proper safety protocols in place, despite obvious challenges.
