As humanity works overtime to scrub off the scent of pandemic era which rampaged the entertainment industry and threatened a devastating resurgence, we’ve all witnessed a boom in outdoor activities globally and in Sierra Leone.
Entertainers and musicians are not left out of this and have doubled down to create soundtracks to support the wave and thanks to this, we’ve had a sonically hotter year, with the airwaves taken captive by banger tracks after banger tracks.
Last year 2021, Sierraloaded started the Hottest Artiste List, an undiluted run down of the Artistes that shaped, defined and led music among Sierra Leonean consumers throughout the year.
This list underscores the entertainers who scored the biggest hits, tours, mega moves on the local and international scene, the award winners, and in general, the people we’ve listened and danced to for the past 12 months
Be sure you are following Sierraloaded on all social media platforms so as not to miss out on this list.

Coming off the success of the 2021 single “Winner”, Famous continued his impressive form in 2022 with melodious singles, international tours and mega moves putting him in the 8th spot of the 2022 Hottest Artiste in Sierra Leone.
Talking about consistency in crafting melodious, classic and groovy songs, Frederick Dapaye Peters has no maytch when you take into account his several musical offerings including Sebeh, Noto all man go lek you, and Korpoh done. His storytelling style of music and fashion has gain him much love and admiration from female fans, such that He is widely regarded as one of the best music composers in Sierra Leone.
The Freetown based musical prodigy surges with a smooth flow of Afro-fusion magic with an awesome mix and blend of genres into Afrobeat, with his storytelling, a feel of his emotions and healing tunes to infuse hope and life into his listeners.
In 2022, Famous added “If God Gi You” and “Bestie” to his catalogue to smashing hit singles and they were just more than enough to savage the thirst of his fans. In particular, Bestie has attracted a large number of TikTok videos and can be acclaimed one of the best songs out of Sierra Leone this year.
On the international scene, Famous has expanded his tentacles with electrifying performances and successful tours across Europe with recent his shows being held in Germany, Sweden and Denmark.

We hope Famous will not rest on his oars in delivery of infectious Afro-Pop tunes that resonates with the times we are in. Perhaps, He might surprise us with an album in 2023?
