Afrobeats superstar Davido has been spearheading the movement to bring African music to a global audience for over ten years. In a recent interview with Billboard, the Grammy-nominated artist reflects on his remarkable musical journey. He is set to drop his new single titled “Flex My Soul.”

Billboard posted a behind-the-scenes video titled “Davido Welcomes All to His World of Music Honda Stage x Billboard.” It features Davido discussing his initial foray into music and the current global reach of Afrobeats. The interview sheds light on how his passion for music began, tracing it back to the lively parties his mother used to host.

“My mom used to throw a lot of parties when I was young and from there, it can of like form into me loving music,” Davido said.

Davido’s musical journey wasn’t a straight shot to singing. He initially began his career behind the scenes, honing his skills as a producer. It wasn’t part of his original plan to step into the spotlight, but fate (and perhaps some hidden talent) had other plans. His debut single, released after this shift in focus, unexpectedly propelled him into the world of music stardom. This proves that sometimes the greatest discoveries come when we least expect them.

“In my head at that time I never think I would be in the forefront, be an artist. One day one of my cousins decided to release one my songs as me and when I move back to Nigeria I just took it on full time”.

Davido also expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with other artists, highlighting his enjoyment of incorporating them into his music.

” My first single was a collaboration so I love collaborating, especially like bringing them to my world,” Davido said referring to his first single ‘Back When’ featuring Naeto C which he also produced.

The interview also touched on Davido’s upcoming single “Flex My Soul,” which he previously hinted at. He suggested a female artist might be featured on the track, and it seems like he’ll be performing it on the Billboard Honda Stage.

Davido also spoke about the international explosion of Afrobeats. He acknowledged the increased accessibility of the genre but emphasised that the music and its infectious energy have always been there.
