Alatevi Korbla John, popularly known as Byno has been adjudged the winner of the twelfth edition of TV3’s music reality show, Mentor.
Byno was announced the winner after 13 weeks of intense competition.
Byno’s dual mastery of the trumpet and vocals created a musical alchemy that brought Lucky Dube’s 1992 hit to life in an entirely new light. Not only did he secure the Star Performer title over the weeks, but he also became a multiple award winner of this prestigious accolade.
A three-time Star performer on the show which began weeks ago, Byno Ayoni, beat 6CA, L Boat, Majesti and Hy5 to emerge the winner of the enviable and prestigious competition.
The choice of a reggae song added layers of depth to the performance, as the genre often serves as a vessel for conveying messages of love, unity, and resilience. Byno, through his dance, translated these themes into a personal narrative that resonated with the collective human experience.
Mentor, known for providing a platform for artists to showcase their talent and share their stories, became the perfect stage for Byno to create a connection beyond the dance floor. His emotional performance not only showcased his skill as a dancer but also revealed his ability to use art as a medium for healing and self-expression.
