Nigerian music star, Davido, has revealed plans to embrace a more authentic African sound in his future projects, moving away from Western influences.
He shared this during a popular UK Afrobeats chart show hosted by Eddie Kadi, where he reflected on his journey and global success.
The singer expressed satisfaction with his achievements, including sold-out shows across continents and multiple Grammy nominations.
According to him, the next phase of his career will focus on music that reflects his roots after exploring international sounds.
Davido said, “This part of my career, I have performed everywhere, sold out every arena, I have been to three Grammys in the last three years. The music that is coming next is very Davido, it is very African. We have done it so I am not really looking to really do western sounds.”
He also praised his strong fan base in South Africa, noting that a large portion of the population connects with his music.
“I remember when I had the Number 1 song on radio in South Africa, and for you as an Afrobeat artist to get a No. 1 song in SA. Cause if you look at the top songs there, it’s American & South African music”, he said.
