DC3 experienced a transformative shift toward Christian music, driven by a desire to express his faith and purpose more authentically. DC3 is now utilising his songs and performances to not only share his personal spiritual journey, but also to inspire others, particularly young people, to embrace their faith and conquer life's hardships. His music reflects his strong commitment to his Christian values as well as his desire to positively impact his community.
The coveted Best Newcomer award has long been one of the UK industry’s best early indicators of the next breakout stars. DC3 released his latest single Valley last week which follows recent tracks Keep Moving, Holy Boppin and American Idolz.
Kanya King CBE, founder and CEO of the MOBO Group, said: "Thirty years ago, the MOBO Organisation was born out of a desire to create space where there was none - to recognise, celebrate and elevate Black music and culture. Tonight in Manchester, we’ve seen just how far that vision has come."
