Popular Nigerian Afrobeats singer Davido is aiming to take over the American music business after experiencing immense success in the African music scene.
Davido says he’s prepared to take on new tasks and show off his skills to a larger group of people.
Davido declared that working with artists from all around the world is his dream.
The singer revealed in a recent Billboard interview that he is now working on two albums for Africa and America, respectively.
He said:
“I want to drop this album by the grace of God. Hopefully, we get to hit No. 1. I just want to share great ideas and great music with other artists, influence other artists, write and produce for other people. Just getting to the dream. I’ve lived the African dream, now I’m trying to get to the American dream.”
Speaking on his ties with American artists, Davido stated:
“I think I connect with Atlanta artists, especially having lived there for about four, five years there. I currently have a house in Atlanta, so when it comes to the American culture, I learned most of it in the South. So I think I relate better with Atlanta artists, being around [Young] Thug and being around people. Like, I been knew Gunna even before either he or I popped off.”
