Francis Reffel, popularly known as Keltony, winner of the 2025 Cribs International Talent Search, has officially departed for Lagos, Nigeria, as part of his rising music journey under Cribs International.

Keltony, who hails from Bo City, travelled alongside Cribs International CEO, Sho Cole, and popular Cribs artists Boii and Peter Komba. This major step follows shortly after the conclusion of the highly competitive talent search, where Keltony emerged as the winner and walked away with the star prize of NLe 300,000.

The record label took to its official Facebook page to confirm the trip, writing:

“Our newly signed artist, @_keltony and the Cribs artists jet to Lagos.

After winning Le300,000, Keltony and the Cribs International team are in Lagos to cook up more bangers.

Big things loading… stay tuned.”

Known for his growing popularity and dynamic sound, Keltony is already being hailed as a promising star in Sierra Leone’s music scene. His fan base continues to grow, especially after his notable collaboration on the hit track “Tonight” by Sierra Leone’s hip hop legend and Entertainment Ambassador Kao Denero.

Now signed under Cribs International, Keltony joins a roster of successful young artists nurtured by the label, including Boii, The Therapist, and Peter Komba. Cribs has earned a strong reputation for pushing Sierra Leonean talent onto bigger platforms.

Fans and industry insiders alike are watching closely, with high expectations for new music and collaborations from this Nigerian trip, as Cribs International continues to strengthen its regional presence in West Africa.

As Cribs hinted: “Big things loading…” and the world is ready to see what Keltony does next.
