Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has shared valuable advice for aspiring musicians, emphasizing the importance of embracing originality in their artistic endeavors.
Reflecting on his own journey, the OBO crooner recounted how he made the significant decision to relocate from the United States to Nigeria in pursuit of a musical style that differed from what was commonly known in the West.
According to Davido, the unique sound he aimed to develop in Nigeria ultimately catapulted him to superstardom, bringing him back to the United States.

His guidance encourages up-and-coming musicians to prioritize authenticity and innovation, underlining the idea that a distinctive and original approach to music can lead to remarkable success in the industry.
In a video message shared via his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, Davido said: “If I could give advice to aspiring musicians, just be original.
He spoke further in the video:
“I used to live in America. I could have stayed just done what everybody else was doing. My calling was to go back home [Nigeria] and represent the culture [Afrobeats] and eventually, it still brought me back out here. But everybody else has their own path. The most important thing is be original.”
