Super Falcons and Houston Dash star, Michelle Alozie has revealed her top three African music artists as Young Jonn, Burna Boy, and Ayra Starr.

Her picks reflect a strong connection to contemporary Nigerian music, blending upbeat Afrobeats with soulful Afro-fusion.

Alozie recently featured in Nigeria’s 3–0 victory over Tunisia in their opening match at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), helping the team begin their title campaign on a winning note.

The 27-year-old defender’s admiration for these artists highlights the growing influence of African music in global sports culture, especially among younger athletes proudly representing the continent.
