For almost a decade, Apple Music’s Up Next Program has helped spotlight a new generation of emerging talent, exposing them to a larger audience. The program’s alumni includes a class of dazzling acts including Rema, Burna Boy, Tems and more. Since their expansion to Nigeria in 2021, the global artist initiative has consistently presented a roster of the most promising emerging talents from this side. Following his double-feature release, Neo-Soul singer and songwriter, Rigo Kamp, serves as the latest addition to the program.  

His 70s inspired funk debut dubbed ‘Summer/Morning Sun’ displayed Rigo’s irresistible magnetism and charisma over the locked groove of a Disco-inspired beat, alongside an infectious Soul and Jazz blend which scored production credits from Alté pioneers, Odunsi(The Engine) and GMK. Regarding the program’s feature, coupled with a glowing appearance on the accompanying playlist where he sits amongst the likes of FLO and Bree Runaway, Rigo shares: 

“The little boy in me sees the man standing before him now as the Apple Music Up Next Artist for Nigeria and is proud… It’s a special day for me and everyone that has worked with me over the years.”
