George ‘Fiji’ Veikoso to perform at FPRA awards

George ‘Fiji’ Veikoso is aiming to bridge the gap between new local artists and the old artists in Fiji.

From his struggles on the streets of Raiwaqa right through to when he became a member of seminal reggae band, Rootstrata, Veikoso did it tough.

While sharing his thoughts on how local artists can develop, he says this is a great opportunity to see potential talents that can make Fiji proud in the years to come.

Veikoso wants to encourage local artists into musicianship.

Veikoso and Australian top artist Paulini Curuenavuli will both appear at the FPRA 2016 Music Awards.

The FPRA 2016 Music Awards will feature live performances by youngsters like Inside Out, Naseda, Dave Steven, Jay Deuce and Katarina Turagakacivi from Dawn Gospel.

For Dave Steven, catching up with Veikoso will be a homecoming of sorts.

Music fans coming to the Grand Pacific Hotel this Saturday will be provide an opportunity to see, hear and witness the musical genius of Veikoso live and direct.

The FPRA 2016 Music Awards will be held at 5.30pm on Saturday at the Grand Pacific Hotel.
