Hiplife musician, Atom, is one of the luckiest Ghanaian musicians this week because he got himself into the international music mainstream market with his award-winning track called “Y3 Wo Krom”.

During Apple’s presentation at the 2016 World Wide Developer’s Conference, they unveiled sweeping changes to Apple Music and as well as the Messages application.

Before walking off stage, Apple Music executive Bozoma Saint John who is a Ghanaian looked to West Africa to soundtrack the exciting changes, playing a snippet from Atom’s 2015 hit “Y3 Wo Krom”.

But it didn’t end there! The snippet which was played during the presentation seems to have already effected the reach of Atom’s fanbase.

At this point, one can partially say Atom has broken into the international music market but still needs to do more to seal his place – David Mawuli

He has crossed boundaries as those who were present at the event went straight to YouTube in search of the Afrobeats jam.

You won’t believe that even music fans from Ukraine left positive comments under the official music video on the online streaming platform.

Most of the YouTubers’s comments focused on what brought them there — sort of a boost from Apple Music’s exposure. 

Some YouTube commenters wrote on the song’s music video “wwdc brought me here,” and “Thank’s for Appl’s WWDC 2016 i found this song. Hi from Ukraine:).”

Other exciting comments are as follow;
