On this note we give the crown to non other than Triple MMG/Sony Music signee Tekno Miles a.k.a Alhaji Tekno the Pana Master. He has established himself not just as a singer but a full musician with dazzling dance steps and a mastery of various instruments like the piano and acoustic guitar. His constant funny activities on social media has also endeared him to many as he keeps all entertained. During a tour of Europe sometime this year, a video of him dancing to his song Pana at an airport in Amsterdam went viral with many views and commendation for his display while waiting to catch a flight. The song Pana caught everyone off guard and spread like wild fire with its infectious rhythm and lyrics. It topped charts across Nigeria for weeks, rocked parties and dance halls across Africa with notable acts like Sarkodie and Yemi Alade lending their admiration for his wonderful talents with a cover of the song. His Sony Music deal we gather would be announced anytime soon officially and thus his sojourn to greater heights in 2017 begins. We wish him all the best in his glowing career and pray for more hits to keep us all glued to his style of music. Tekno rules Best of the Best 2016. All hail the King of Pana!!!
