Llona is an independent artist whose work is grounded in agility, determination and a deep connection to grassroots audiences. He records, strategises and performs with an eye toward autonomy. His sound carries the urgency of someone building a career brick by brick.
He is being honoured for his self-funded nationwide tour across more than two dozen states in 2025. The Homeless Tour challenged assumptions about what independent artists can achieve. Its success sparked interest from major artists, including Davido, who began exploring a similar touring approach.
