In line with its objective to recognize and honour individuals and organizations that have also lent their support to the sustenance of the genre of music, the organizers have also identified a virtuoso guitarist, in the person of Kaiyero Rotibi (aka Tyro) and his is billed to be honoured alongside the “Evil Genius”.
Tyro is acclaimed to be the oldest and longest serving member of the Dr. Victor Olaiya Band, having being with him since 1957.
