According to Deejay Pius, the nominations means a lot since it shows that Rwandan music is recognized on regional music platform unlike previous years.

“Such nominations show that Rwandan music is on a good trend and it has penetrated regional music scene. I call upon Rwandans to vote for us since voting is via Hipipo official facebook page,” says Pius.
