Many come into the music industry and struggle to hit the ground running, some come and immediately become the name on everyone's lips. Davido came at a time when the Nigerian music scene had a lot of big names recognized both locally and internationally. The scene was so competitive that it would take a new artist with enough talent, gusto, and determination to make an impact. Not many could boast of these qualities, but for Davido, they were in-born.
To back it up a bit, Davido, born David Adedeji Adeleke had left a wealthy background behind him to dabble into the uncertainty of the Nigerian music scene, make a name and build a wealth of his own.
A billion Youtube views, a billion music streams and three critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, are evidence of the work put in by Davido over the last 10 years.
