Streamed over 2 billion times and handpicked by FIFA to lead their 2022 World Cup Soundtrack collaboration “Hayya Hayya (Better Together)”, American born, Nigerian raised afro beats icon Davido (born David Adedeji Adeleke) has cemented his position as a global force within the music scene.

And the past 12 months capped off another banner year for the platinum artist including his second sold-out show at London’s O2 Arena and the release of his third studio album, A Better Time, the critically acclaimed follow-up to his 1.2 billion streaming 2019 release, A Good Time.
Davido’s rise has been a building process and 2019 was a powerful year for Davido, it saw him play his first sold-out date at London’s O2 Arena –the first solo African artist to do this –creating mass hysteria across America with his smash hit single Fall which is now certified GOLD in the US and Canada. The song went on to have the longest run of an Afrobeats single on the Billboard Charts and saw its peak across Shazam as one of the most searched songs in the States.
To date, the video for Fall sits as the No.1 Afrobeats music video with over 212 million views on YouTube Music – bringing his overall views across the platform to over 1 billion.

Starting out releasing singles in a less conventional approach, that would probably leave most labels in doubt, Davido amassed a cult following across Nigeria, and in turn Africa. Despite being young his music was “stuff the older people could like” and so bridged the generational gap of those who enjoyed the classic sounds of Shina Peters but also the new take on Afrobeats. From his debut single Back When to Dami Duro it was not long before Davido struck gold with Skelewu, now boasting over 50 million streams and views. At the time admittedly “labels were still understanding” the Afrobeat’s resurgence, but the intrigue of the sound that was quickly spreading worldwide pricked the ears of A&Rs across the globe, and it was not long before Sony Music signed the Nigerian star. Nevertheless, David’s approach remained the same working with his go-to producers Shizzi and Kiddominant, to release enough music over the past 10 years to make “5 albums”.
Retirement not being an option, for a long while, Davido’s mentorship has become something dear to him; in the same way the likes of “D’Banj and 2Face” did for him. They are founding his DMW label in 2016, nurturing the talents of Mayorkun, Peruzzi, Dremo and many more. Mentorship and the familial approach taken to music is something Davido attributes to the burgeoning Latin music scene, they “collaborate, tour together and the streams grow” and something he feels could be a great addition to the African scene, as he thinks that not “one person could do it on their own”.
