Fast-rising dancehall artiste Valiant is riding high following a major endorsement from renowned fashion magazine Vogue as one of the the nine musicians set to take over in 2023.
Vogue said it was key for music lovers to keep their listening ears tuned into these artistes before they blow up in 2023.
Valiant, given Raheem Bowes, is known for hits such as Dunce Cheque, Speed Off, Siance, North Carolina, Narcissistic, Barbies, Glock 40, and St Mary.
