Davido Is Training the Next GOAT Songwriter – How He Continues to Empower Upcoming Artists

Davido is grooming the next generation of music legends

Afrobeats icon Davido is more than just a hitmaker—he's a mentor, a talent builder, and a true leader in the African music industry. In a recent statement, the award-winning singer and DMW boss opened up about how supporting upcoming artists has not only helped others grow, but also played a significant role in his own success.

 “Everybody knows I love nurturing upcoming artists and just supporting in any way I can. I feel like that’s one of the reasons I’ve lasted this long in the industry—because I’ve helped so many artists grow,” Davido said.

For Davido, empowering young talent isn’t just an act of goodwill—it’s a strategy rooted in passion and legacy. He shared a powerful story about an artist he signed who ended up writing four major hits for him. Those songs didn’t just top charts—they changed his life.

“You never know when you might learn from an artist. I signed one who wrote four hits for me, and those hits changed my life. Now, I’m training him to become the Greatest Songwriter of All Time.”

From Mayorkun to Peruzzi, Dremo, and Liya, Davido has built a solid reputation for spotting raw talent and turning them into stars. His label, Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), continues to serve as a launchpad for rising stars in Nigeria and across Africa.

What sets Davido apart is his genuine care and involvement. He treats his signees like family and ensures they have all the tools needed to thrive creatively and professionally.

“Davido has truly done a lot in ushering the next generation of artists. He carries everyone along like family,” a fan noted online.

In a fast-paced industry where talent can easily be overlooked, Davido’s commitment to mentorship stands out. His approach ensures that the Afrobeats wave doesn’t just stay relevant—it grows stronger with every new voice he helps elevate.

By investing in young creatives, he’s not only expanding his legacy—he’s building a community of stars who might one day credit him for shaping their careers.

Davido’s passion for music goes beyond personal success. His drive to uplift and train the next generation of hitmakers is a major reason he remains one of the most respected and enduring figures in Afrobeats today. As he continues to support his artists, fans can only expect more timeless hits and inspiring success stories from the DMW camp.
