Africa’s biggest youth event, The Future Awards Africa
(TFAA) 2014 has announced the hosts for its 2014 edition:
they are 2014 World Music Awards nominee Iyanya; 2013
BET International African Act of the Year, Ice Prince; lead
actress on MNET'e, Tinsel, Osas Ighodaro and Ugandan

The hosts represent the brightest and best of young Africans

in the arts from music to television, in the past year. They

Musical artiste, Iyanya has had an exceptional 2014, touring

widely abroad and selling out concerts from London to

Manchester. He scored five nominations at the World Music

Awards including the landmark Word’s Best Entertainer of the

Year.

“I am looking forward to hosting the continent’s

exclusive evening of inspiration! We live in a culture

where change agents aren’t celebrated enough,” said

Iyanya. “It is us, young Africans who will transform the

continent and I am proud to be one of the four hosts

this year."

Flavia, 23, is the Channel O VJ from Uganda. In 2013, she

hosted the live premiere of the continent’s foremost reality

show, Big Brother Star Game alongside its star host, IK.

"Young Africans are no longer spectators in our

collective fate and the awe-inspiring selection of them

that The Future Awards Africa celebrates points to

this,” said Flavia. “Of course, I had to be part of the

exclusive evening that rewards their creativity,

innovation, enterprise. I know I will be inspired!”

running for the TFAA Prize in Entertainment after having

successfully elevated the rap genre in the past year with hit
