I had a complete studio in my room which my dad never knew about – Davido speaks on venturing into music
-
Davido recounts how his father learned that he was a musician.
David Adeleke, better known by his stage as Davido, has said that he did not officially tell his father that he wanted to be a musician.
He discussed how he was reluctant to share his love of music with his father, Deji Adeleke, in an interview with Famouz Timez.
According to Davido, his family has established standards for careers and employment, so that after each of them graduates from college, his father either hires them in one of his firms or arranges for them to work for a company run by one of his wealthy friends.
He claimed to be the first person in his family to break away from the family tradition and pursue a career in entertainment, even though his father would not have approved.
The Fem singer also disclosed how other individuals were how his father found out that he was a musician at the time.

Davido claimed that Mr. Adeleke was unaware that he had a complete recording studio in his room and that he frequently made music when the businessman left for the office.
He continued by saying that he normally makes it a point to complete recording before he leaves for work and then goes about his daily activities as if nothing unusual had happened.
“I come from a family where no entertainment. It’s straight up you go to school, you get your degree. Either my dad gets you a job with one of his friends or you just go work for him.
“I was the first one that really branched out to do entertainment. Funny enough, I couldn’t tell him, it was that bad. It was like I’m not telling him I’m doing music. Like nah, he doesn’t want that.
“So it was something that he kinda has to find out through other people. Why is there always music playing from David’s room?
“I had a whole studio in my room and he didn’t know. I make sure I record when he goes to work, I’m in the studio recording. Before he comes back from work, I’m not even talking about music,” Davido said.
