Olivetheboy – Avana EP

Olivetheboy just added another trophy to his cabinet. His project Avana EP won EP of the Year at the 3Music Awards 2024, beating out a stacked list that included DSL, Kelvyn Boy, Bryan The Mensah, and Ko-Jo Cue.

The judges called it a standout for its “innovative sound and lyrical depth.” And fans agree — Avana put Olivetheboy on a different level when it dropped.

What makes Avana EP hit different:
6 tracks of pure vibe: The original EP gave us fan favorites like GOODSIN and STAY. Both tracks blew up on TikTok and dominated streaming charts across West Africa.
Sound: Olivetheboy blends Afrobeat, R&B, and Afropop into something smooth but emotional. It’s the kind of project you play when you’re feeling yourself or nursing heartbreak.
Deluxe upgrade: He later dropped Avana (Deluxe) with 8 tracks, adding features from King Promise, Oxlade, and Reekado Banks on the GOODSIN remix.

This win confirms what a lot of us already knew — Olivetheboy isn’t just a viral moment. Since signing with Sony Music’s Bu Vision in 2023 and getting tapped for Apple Music’s Up Next program, he’s been building a catalog that actually lasts.
