Davido discusses the beginnings of his music career.
Davido has gone down memory lane to describe how his foray into music began, while still basking in the ecstasy of his recent album’s success.
The music sensation revealed in a recent interview with Forbes that he originally planned to work as a producer but switched to singing when he realized he was better at it than the people he was recording.
According to him, his older relative was the family musician whereas Davido was more interested in technology.
“I used to be a producer. I have always wanted to be like in the background of things.
“So, I used to have an older cousin, he was like the musician of the family. I’m the last born of my family.
“One of my cousins that always with me every time in the studio, he noticed that if you are an artist and I’m recording you.
“He noticed that if the artist made a mistake, I’m like ‘Nah, don’t sing it like that, sing it like this. Sing it this way, it will catch their ears more this way.’
“So, over time doing that, I was like ‘Yo! I’m better than everybody that I’m recording’.
“I was like ‘You know, maybe I should record a song’. The first song I ever recorded, blew up”, he shared.
