International DJ and Producer Sierraplays brought the house down in Amsterdam with a show-stopping set at Shallipopi’s headline concert, leaving the crowd electrified and solidifying her place as one of the most dynamic forces in the African music scene.

Held in front of a sold-out crowd, the event was a landmark celebration of African music and culture — and Sierraplays stole the spotlight with her genre-blending sound, infectious stage energy, and commanding presence behind the decks.

Her performance, marked by a powerful fusion of Afrobeats, Amapiano, and Afrohouse, pushed creative boundaries and set a new standard for live DJ sets in the diaspora. Fans and critics alike hailed the set as “futuristic, culturally rich, and spiritually charged.”

A prodigy of African heritage and a vibrant voice in the UK’s dance scene, Sierraplays embodies Pan-Africanism with every performance. Her sets are not just musical journeys but immersive experiences rooted in traditional African dance and a deep love for her motherland. Her unique sound radiates euphoric energy and seamlessly bridges cultural and sonic boundaries.

Her dynamic presence extends to the airwaves through her bi-weekly Amapiano show on EXT Radio, bringing the pulse of African music to a global audience.

In November 2023, she launched her own flagship event, Midnight Piano, a growing platform that showcases emerging talent in the Afro-electronic space. The event has already begun making waves as a new staple in London’s nightlife scene.

A former Miss West Africa International Beauty Queen, Sierraplays has also championed social service and philanthropy across Africa, intertwining advocacy with artistry.
