Banky W And Dineo To Host The Channel O Music Video Awards 2011

Organizers of the 2011 edition of the Channel O Music Video Awards have announced Nigerian R&B Singer and E-M-E boss Banky W and South African O-Access presenter Dineo Moeketsi will be hosting the awards come Friday, November 11, 2011.
The Pan-African music awards certainly made a right choice picking the duo – For Banky, it’s been a busy year even though he didn’t release any new solo projects; his grooming of his E-M-E label’s younger acts Wizkid and Skales has kept the singer quite busy. Banky also signed up with Samsung as a brand ambassador and was also chosen as one of this year’s headline acts for the Hennessy Artistry Project.
‘It is truly a great honour for me to be chosen as this year’s host. Channel O has been one of the greatest platforms for African artists over the years, and the award show is always a spectacular event’, Banky W says

Ever since Dineo took up the role of O-Access presenter last year, the National School of the Arts graduate has become quite popular in the South African region. Also a musician, she featured in the new Winnie Mandela movie starring Terrence Howard and Jennifer Hudson.
‘Of all the peaks during my time at Channel O, I never imagined this would come my way. I am honoured, humbled, pleasantly surprised and ever so grateful to be hosting this year’s Channel O Music Video Awards’, Dineo happily says.
The awards show will broadcast LIVE from the Sandton Convention Center.
