On Monday, the 1999-born singer, songwriter, and performer, together with a strong team from Kenya, crossed to South Sudan where he is staging a mega concert at the Nyakuron Cultural Centre, Juba, a show organised by Next Level Entertainment.
Speaking to Pulse early this week, his team said tickets were almost sold out and that the anticipation was high among fans in Juba. Word has it that dignitaries and government officials might attend the concert.
"The crowd is anticipating a big show. Ruger is really loved here, especially for his Girlfriend song and since we landed, the anticipation is high among fans. I trust this will be one of the biggest shows ever. It is true that Ruger is the artiste to watch across Africa.
He is among the new post-covid stars that are emerging as the force to reckon with," said Eric One Wash, who is part of the team putting the (SKM1) event together.
It is only a year since the performer came into the public limelight, that after signing a record deal with D'Prince. The label has a publishing and distribution deal with Colombia Records as well as Sony Music Entertainment, UK.
Then on March 4, 2021, he released his debut EP Pandemic with it coming to Bounce, which was a big hit across the region. His second EPM The Second Wave mostly hyped by the Dior popularity did not disappoint.
Ruger achieved his mainstream recognition with the release of his debut extended play and its hit track Bounce, which became his major hit and reached number one on Apple Music in Nigeria, and across Africa.
