Davido

Davido, born David Adedeji Adeleke on November 21, 1992, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, is a Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and record producer who has become one of Africa's leading musicians. Raised in Lagos, Nigeria, Davido's music career began in earnest when he dropped out of school and started making waves with his debut album "Omo Baba Olowo" in 2012. His unique blend of Afrobeat, traditional African music, and contemporary pop quickly garnered him both regional and international acclaim.

Over the years, Davido has continued to rise in the global music scene, delivering a string of hits that showcase his versatility and charisma. With recent releases like "Electricity," which pulsates with an infectious dance-ready beat, and "Hayya Hayya (Better Together)," the Spanish version of which was included in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Soundtrack, he's proven his ability to create anthems that resonate across cultures. Collaborations with a diversity of artists highlight his cross-genre appeal, as seen in tracks like "Sensational" featuring Lojay, and "WATAWI," where his distinct voice pairs with the talents of Focalistic and Abidoza. Davido's star power is unmistakable, as he brings an effortless fusion of Afro-pop and global rhythms to fans around the world.
