Nigerian music sensation Davido has shared his inspiring story of how he ventured into the Afrobeats genre.
In a recent interview, Grammy-nominated artist, Davido revealed that his encounter with Don Jazzy and D’banj in 2008 sparked his interest in music.
At just 14 years old, Davido had the opportunity to pick up Don Jazzy and D’banj from the airport in Atlanta, where they had arrived for a show and a potential collaboration with Kanye West. Davido was fascinated by their lifestyle and the thrill of spending over $20,000 at a club.
This experience had a profound impact on Davido, inspiring him to pursue a career in music. He has since become one of the most successful Afrobeats artists globally, with a recent Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Chris Brown on the song Sensational.
