Davido also known as David Adedeji, is a well-known Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and record producer.
The kind of music Davido does blends traditional African elements with global mainstream pop.
Davido started his music career in 2011 when he recorded and produced his debut studio album Omo Baba Olowo. That album’s music is a mixture of Afrobeats and hip-hop.
Davido has since gone ahead to win many awards and featured top music acts in the world.
Davido Career Start
Born in Atlanta but raised in Lagos, Davido’s musical journey began while studying business administration in the US.
He dropped out to pursue his passion, making beats and recording vocals. In 2011, back in Nigeria, he released his debut single “Back When” featuring rapper Naeto C.
The song gained traction, but it was the follow-up “Dami Duro” that became a national anthem, solidifying his place in the Nigerian music scene.
Capitalizing on this success, Davido released his debut album “Omo Baba Olowo” (meaning “Child of a Rich Father”) in 2012.
It was a commercial success with hits like “Ekuro” and “Gbon Gbon,” but critics found the lyrics lacking. Despite this, the album and its massive popularity earned him the “Next Rated” award at The Headies, a prestigious Nigerian music award show.
This marked the explosive beginning of Davido’s career, launching him into Afrobeats stardom.
