Stanley Enow continues career after swooping 2 awards

For Stanley, receiving two international awards does not mean relenting on his efforts. Since the release of his single "Hein Père"in 2013, Stanley Enow has continued to soar on the Cameroon urban music scene, and beyond. A young story, which already has gathered rewards internationally.

He was the winner of Best New Comer (best discovery) of the Africa Muzik Magazine Awards (Afrimma) 2014 edition, event held on 26 July in Dallas in the United States and Best New Act (best Revelation) of the MTV African Music Awards (MAMA) in Durban, South Africa on 7 June, a competition in which Cameroon participated for the first time.

As the key to his success, he draws inspiration from his land, the use of easy to remember pidgin phrases, names of stars such as Kareyce Fotso, Charlotte Dipanda, Lady Ponce in the lyrics to capture attention, not orchestrating complex.

Two other titles were added to the single "Hein Père" in 2014, "TumbuBoss" and "Njama Njama Cow". As well as collaborations with the South African F.A.B, Nyanda, one of the Sisters of the Jamaican duo Brick and Lace.

The days are increasingly busy for the holder of a degree in communication from the University of Douala. He works between supervision of installation of his video clip, trays TV studios, international interviews via Skype and a little bit of attention goes to his mum.
