Nigerian Singer Portable

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has revealed that winning a Grammy is his ultimate goal in the music industry.

The ‘Zazu’ crooner said he would feel accomplished if he won a golden gramophone.

In a recent interview with content creator, Timi Agbaje, Portable said, “My ultimate goal in the music industry is to win a Grammy. I will only feel accomplished if I win a Grammy. I want to win the African category.

Nigerian Singer Portable and Grammy Trophy

“I want to win an international award because our local awards are compromised. I sing better than most of my colleagues. A lot of them use autotune. They can’t perform with live band or sing good music. They can’t make conscious music.”

The singer had been crowned as the Best New Artist at the 2023 African Entertainment Awards, USA (AEUSA).

This is Portable’s first international music award as he edged the likes of Blaq Bones, Odumodublvk and Seyi Vibez among others to emerge as winner.

He also bagged the Artiste of the Year award at the just concluded Golden Stars Award.
