Tonight is his biggest moment yet, and we’re delighted to support him step into this new chapter as a performing artist with this bold new orchestral experience.”
With the crowd warmed up, Dokta Brain eventually took the stage to strong applause, starting his set with Okuloota Buloota, followed by Buntu Butono and several fan favorites from his own catalog.
Through the artiste’s outfit change interlude, fellow industry stars took the stage and performed songs they had collaborated on including Chosen Blood, John Blaq and Winnie Nwagi’s Musaawo in a fitting tribute to Dokta.
At the VIP tables, guests were welcomed with premium Bond 7 bottles as bartenders poured custom Bond 7 signature cocktails created specifically for the Doorkey theme. Orders moved quickly all night, with guests keeping their glasses full to toast each performance.
For the finale, Dokta Brain returned to the stage and was joined by rapper Feffe Bussi, who delivered a freestyle over the hit song Sijja. As the night wrapped up, Dokta Brain thanked the audience, his team, and Bond 7 for supporting his journey.
It was a night that toasted to the creative bonds that build the music industry.
