about Davido, his unique personality, and his success as a musician.

Davido: Goals and Accomplishments

At the very young age of 17 in 2012, David Adedeji Adeleke, the son of a
multimillionaire, started his music career. David Adeleke, now popularly called Davido,
released his first debut album Omo Baba Olowo in July 2012 and has thrived. Davido is
one of the most ecstatic, lively people in the Nigerian music industry.

The uniqueness of everyone's way of seeing life has made the world blend well with a
lot of taste. In Davido's case, he sees Africa as a place to explore, particularly in terms
of music. He has a great perspective about Africa and its value, even though he was
born in Atlanta, Georgia. While he began by experimenting with hip-hop music,
influenced by his summers spent in Atlanta, a trip back home to Lagos for Christmas
sparked a change in his music. His top goal is to share the African Continent's diversity
with the rest of the globe.

Davido found purpose in spreading music indicative of his Nigerian roots to the rest of
the world after returning home. He has creative vibes, and a unique music style mixes
culture and ethnicity. Davido has gained more of a fan base in Africa and has ranked
high in the music industry by making upbeat Afro-fusion music. Davido truly has a heart
for African entertainment and how it is perceived across other Continents in the world.

He has Music schools built throughout Africa to establish the heart of Afro-beats and
African beauty in music. He has started his own record company, Davido Music
Worldwide, featuring Nigerian artists such as Dremo and Mayorkun. He aspires to
provide the next generation of African artists with the tools they need to become
international, ensuring that the Continent produces more well-known talents.

Davido has a great background of wealth which everybody knows. At the early stage of
his career, his family did not approve of him choosing music. Davido was locked in
prison by his father to stop him from pursuing his goal and passion. Regardless he was
determined to walk his path through success and made a name for himself in the
entertainment industry.

He has earned many accomplishments, including 29 awards from 74 nominations. He

has received numerous awards, including a BET Award, a Channel O Music Video
Award, two MTV Africa Music Awards, five Headies Awards, and others.

known for holding social media competitions and freebies regularly. Davido is also

wealth, he is known for his charity, which has impacted the lives of many individuals,
including singers such as Mayorkun, Peruzzi, Zlatan, and others and his DMW crew's
right-hand men.

Davido has given his fans and members of the public a long number of slangs and
sayings throughout the years, but none has lasted more than his slogan, "We Rise by
Lifting Others." He's developed an empire, created a healthy environment, and put
some structure in the music industry during his dominant run since his breakout. He has
helped to put numerous Nigerian musicians on the international map.

He has a heart for the lowly people and has helped many get to the top. For instance,
Aloma, who owns the Aloma music worldwide, used to sell clothes for a living before
meeting Davido. Aloma was said to be his unofficial personal assistant who learned a
lot and discovered a new talented Artist, Lil frosh. Aloma also started promoting other
artists and supporting Lil frosh, who signed into DWM in 2019 after being discovered.
