22-Year Bayelsa born, wins Voice Nigeria Season 2, goes home with #7m SUV + Musical contract.
Idyl defeated Ebube after delivering a stunning performance.
The self-acclaimed ghetto youth who says he was “raised in the streets by the streets,” also affirms that grace brought him this far.
Idyl, who also goes by the #GracePikin, and his mentor, Timi Dakolo, wept on each other’s necks as he was announced the winner.
Other participants who had been dropped as the competition entered critical stages also joined Idyl on the stage to share the historical, joyous moment with him.
The Voice Nigeria is the Nigerian version of the TV series The Voice.
It premiered on Africa Magic television channels Showcase and Urban on DStv in Nigeria on 10 April, 2016 and was sponsored by Airtel and Coca-Cola.
Speaking after the victory, the newly crowned winner of The Voice Nigeria was “proud” to state that he, a product of the streets, could ascend to winning the coveted singing competition.
The singer who was under the tutelage of his ace counterpart Timi Dakolo was full of emotions and struggled to remain composed during a post-victory interview.
Idyl said his win was made possible through his belief in God and hard work, adding that it can happen to anybody.
“Every young boy, it doesn’t matter where you come from. I’m proudly from the streets. I tell you, you can be anything. Just believe God and put in your hard work. Believe God and put in your hard work, You do fit be anything. Na me be this today,” he said.
The winner earns a recording contract with Universal Music Group, an SUV car worth N7m and a trip to Abu Dhabi.
Idyl is the second winner of The Voice Nigeria, with Agharese Emokpae, winning the first season in 2016.
In this year’s edition, which is the Season 2 of The Voice Nigeria, four performers made it to the grand finale, but Idly took home the dream prizes.
Good one
