My Dad Built Me The Best Studio In Nigeria; Wizkid Used To Come There – Davido.
Nigerian artist Davido has stated that his dad built him the best music studio in Nigeria back in the day, and Wizkid used to visit there.
Davido said this in an interview about his career and why he decided to move from being a studio engineer to being a singer.
According to Davido, his colleague Wizkid and other top music singers like D’banj used to visit his studio, which his rich father built for him because it was the best in Nigeria at the time.
He stated that he was a sound engineer at the time and was juggling school and music until being urged to start singing by his peers after demonstrating his abilities in front of them.
He said, “He [my dad] built me the best studio in Nigeria. I mean, everybody used to come there: Wizkid, D’banj. “I have the best studio but the studio is only open every two weeks because n*gga is in school. So, I come every two weeks and everybody would be coming over.
“Funny enough, that time I wasn’t even recording my music. Like I said, I was learning [sound] engineering. So, I had people come over to the studio and be recording. I always give people ideas how to sing hooks. And my boys started realising that, bro you are better than all these people.
“I was like, no, I’m still in school. They insisted that I should try. And I said, okay. The first song I recorded, blows up.”
