#MentorXII: Byno’s soulful rendition of ‘August Town’ earns him ‘Star Performer’ for the night

In a dazzling display of musical prowess, Mentor's 12th Season brought the house down with a Reggae and Dancehall Night that saw contestants like Jake, Byno, and Tician Ruler stealing the show in their sleek black outfits.

The highlight of the evening undoubtedly belonged to Byno, who emerged victorious with a soul-stirring rendition of Duane Stevenson's classic “August Town,” originally released in 2007. Byno's performance, marked by emotional depth and stage control, left the judges in awe.

Kwabena Kwabena, one of the judges, praised Byno, stating, “There's not much to say. You're such a performer. I love the way you control the stage and your music. I love the way you like to perform songs your way, and I believe that that is the way to be a creative person and a great performer. Well done Byno.”

Richie, another judge, expressed gratitude to Byno for settling a previous argument, saying, “I want to thank Byno for winning my argument for me. When you come on stage, it's not just about your voice; perform, and that is what you did. When you were performing, you were going up and down and shaking your head; I was afraid you would go off-key because of your balance and everything but you stayed on throughout. That was emotional and on point. Welcome back Byno.”

To add a sweet note to Byno's success, he received a package from Vitamilk, Bel Ice, and Darling Drinks for his outstanding performance.
