After an 8-year hiatus, he returned with the platinum-selling BLACKsummers'night, the first of a trilogy. He has received 12 Grammy nominations with two wins.
“Valentine’s with Maxwell” which is slated for tomorrow, at the Ocean View grounds, Eko Hotel and Suites, will also feature the best of Nigerian musicians on stage including Yinka Davis, Bez, Omawunmi and Black Magic alongside with Maxwell.
