Organisers at this year’s Channel O Music Video Awards have announced  African pop star Dapo Oyebanjo, better known as D’banj  as  an award recipient at the forthcoming 2011 awards.

The Nigerian superstar will be given a Special Recognition award on Friday, November 11, 2011, during the awards ceremony.

D’banj follows in the footsteps of past winners K’Naan, Brenda Fassie and George Lee in 2010, 2009 and 2008 respectively. D’banj, who co-hosted the awards show alongside DJ Sbu back in 2007, has shown impressive qualities as an African artiste in his six-year musical journey.

He has released three solo albums ‘No long thing’ (2005), ‘Rundown Funk U Up’ (2006), ‘The Entertainer’ (2008) and the anticipation for his fourth –  ‘Mr Endowed’ increases by the day.

His hard work led to the recent international record deal signing with US rapper Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music earlier this year.

According to Channel O manager, Leslie “Lee” Kasumba,  they  are celebrating D’Banj  due to his  success and  growth in the  music industry over  the years.

As announced earlier, the awards show will be hosted by Nigerian R&B singer Banky W and South African O-Access presenter Dineo Moeketsi and will be broadcast live on Channel O from the Sandton Convention Centre.
