Introducing Our Afrobeat Category Assessors for Black Welsh Music

We’re excited to introduce our Afrobeat Category Assessors for the Black Welsh Music Awards, led by Jay Chikeze. Joining him are Dr Kelechi Anyikude and Omotolani Somoye, both bringing extensive knowledge and passion for this genre. Stay tuned for the announcement of our shortlisted nominees on 25th August 2025 as we celebrate the incredible talent within our community.

The Black Welsh Music Awards celebrate the contributions of Black artists within Wales’ music scene. This platform highlights the talent and creativity of musicians who draw from their cultural heritage, enriching the Welsh music landscape. Artists often blend traditional Welsh sounds with elements from various genres, showcasing the intersections of identity and artistry. The awards not only recognise individual achievements but also encourage collaboration and support among musicians, creating a sense of belonging and shared purpose within the local music scene. This initiative plays a crucial role in honouring the voices that shape Wales’ musical narrative.

Support our talented artists by streaming their music and sharing their work. Follow the Black Welsh Music Awards for updates and to stay connected with the amazing sounds of our artists. Your support matters!
