How Wizkid changed Nigerian music industry – Remi Aluko

Fuji musician Remi Aluko recently stated that Wizkid changed the Nigerian music industry in terms of the music economy and boosted replay value.

He claimed that Nigerian songs were often long before the Starboy chief entered the music business, but he rectified that by releasing shorter songs.

The Fuji star claimed that other musicians imitated Wizkid’s recording technique after realising it increased the replay value of songs.

Speaking in a podcast interview with Echo Room, Aluko said, “Wizkid did something in the Nigerian music industry. And I picked up from there. Back then, a song used to last for five or four minutes. But go and check now, Wizkid is the one that changed the method of music that you don’t need to waste music.

“He changed the method of recording in Nigeria. He will bring chorus and after that he will just give you like 16 bars and after that he will go back to the chorus. If you love the music, you play it again.”
