Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has congratulated his son, Seni Saraki, on his Grammy victory at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards held on Sunday, January 2, in Los Angeles.

Seni earned his first Grammy for his contribution to the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, which won Best Reggae Album.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Saraki expressed his pride in his son’s achievement.

“Congratulations, Seni, on winning your first Grammy last night for your work on the Bob Marley: One Love soundtrack, which won Best Reggae Album!

“Seeing you pour your heart into your passion and having it recognized on the global stage is an indescribable joy. Well done! We are super proud of you!”

In response to the win, Seni expressed gratitude to the artists and producers who contributed to the soundtrack, including Nigeria’s Wizkid and Bloody Civilian.

“I appreciate all the amazing artists, producers, and engineers who were brave enough to take on this project because it is about Bob Marley’s legacy.

“I appreciate them for taking on the songs, reinterpreting them, and doing it their own way—artists like Bloody Civilian, Wizkid, Daniel Caesar, and Jessie Reyez,” he wrote.

The Bob Marley: One Love project is a biographical film exploring the life of the reggae legend, highlighting his struggles, triumphs, and revolutionary music.

This Grammy win marks another milestone for Seni, who previously gained industry recognition as a music consultant on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, which earned four Grammy nominations in 2023.

A graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Seni is the CEO of The Native, a Lagos-based music magazine he co-founded in 2016 with Teni ‘Teezee’ Zaccheaus. The platform champions African music, style, and culture while promoting the global recognition of Afrobeats and other African sounds.
