Nigerian singer and songwriter Patoranking is set to mark a decade in music with a headline performance at Trace Live on September 25 at Terra Kulture Arena, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The concert, organised by Trace in partnership with Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions, will celebrate 10 years of Patoranking’s career under the theme, ‘God Over Everything.’
The event will open its doors at 7pm, with the performance scheduled to begin at 8pm.
Patoranking, whose real name is Patrick Okorie, began gaining national attention with the release of ‘Alubarika’ in 2013. He followed with songs including ‘Girlie O,’ ‘My Woman, My Everything’ and ‘No Kissing Baby,’ establishing himself in Nigeria’s dancehall and reggae music scene.
In 2016, he released his debut studio album, God Over Everything, which included collaborations with artistes such as Wizkid, Phyno and Sarkodie.
The upcoming Trace Live concert takes its theme from the album and is expected to feature performances from across Patoranking’s catalogue, spanning his 10-year career.
The singer has released several projects since his debut album, including Wilmer in 2019, Three in 2020 and World Best in 2023.
The Trace Live platform has hosted live performances by Nigerian and African artistes as part of Trace’s efforts to promote music and live entertainment across the continent.
The September 25 event will be supported by Lord’s London Dry Gin, Legend Extra Stout and Coca-Cola.
The concert will take place at Terra Kulture Arena, a cultural and entertainment venue in Victoria Island, Lagos, with guests expected to arrive from 7pm ahead of the 8pm performance.
