Johannesburg - Can someone please call up the calendar people and rename 2016: the year of Toya Delazy?!
The talented songstress has followed up her win at the international Out Music Award in January (more on that here) with a spot in the final round of the prestigious Midem Artist Accelerator global talent search.
Every year the Midem Artist Accelerator showcases some of the globe's biggest up-and-coming talents, putting them up on a stage in Cannes, France with the opportunity to feature on a special Midem compilation album. Whoopee!
It was announced last week that Toya had made the cut for the final round of selection and now stands a really good chance of becoming one of the twelve artists to grace the stage at Midem.
And naturally Toya was excited to have made the cut- wouldn't you?
She took to Twitter a short while after the announcement to share the news with her followers!

The festival takes place from the 3rd to the 6th of June. So if you're a Toya Delazy fan, we reckon you should start booking your flights and brushing up on your French!#midem @midem thanks team, changing the world, one person at a time :) Cannes I'm coming :) https://t.co/FLoFjFZaeK
