Nigerian sensational singer, Davido has opened up on his journey as an artiste in the industry and the kind of obstacles he encountered.
Davido was engaged in an interaction with the press, where he revealed certain things pertaining to his career. He explained that he faced a lot of opposition from his family when he started out his career as a musician.
In his own words, “It started when I got back home from the University of Alabama during the Christmas holiday. I saw how big the entertainment and music scene was in Nigeria and I fell in love with music so quickly and knew I had so much to contribute and offer,”
“However, my parents disapproved at first, but I worked hard and my career was doing well. It’s a journey you go through and I feel like if I was supported from the get-go, I wouldn’t have worked as hard as I did. I naturally like making music and it’s not about who’s big and who’s not, it’s more about making the craft. My family is now my biggest supporter in life”
It felt like I was directed towards making safe music. It got to a point where I was losing touch with myself and I needed to snap out of it, so I decided to go back to Nigeria and reconnect with my original producers. Once I got back, everything went back to normal and I was true to myself,”
