“The All Black Party movement started in 2021 when I turned 40 years old. Some of my close friends certified me with the status of a legend as I reached the fourth floor in life. I then decided to make a huge gig which will accommodate everyone I work with, associates, friends as well as patrons who have made me who I am.

“After the success and the vibe that we experienced in 2021, I decided to return with the party again this year as I turn 42, and officially launch the gig to be an annually held event.
