In a recent interview, the ” Oleku ” crooner spoke about about Nigerian Music and its global appeal.
While he spoke to Newsmen in Lagos, he gave special thanks to the likes of Fela, Sunny Ade, 2face, Dbanj and Don Jazzy for their roles in the foundation of the Nigerian music industry.
He said:
“One can see that Nigerian artistes themselves have made efforts at stepping up their game and making it more acceptable internationally. So much impact – like Wizkid is currently the Best African Act at the just concluded BET Awards in America, which just gives every other person hope.
“It is amazing how fast the Nigerian music industry has evolved these past years. I’m really grateful to everybody that has worked toward opening the doors; from the likes of Fela, Sunny Ade, 2face, Dbanj, Don Jazzy.
“They’ve been doing amazingly well, and may God keep granting them success as they keep opening doors.
“It seemed impossible and right now it just feels like one of those things already. Featuring a Nigerian artist would now be a major thing.
“There’s so much big stuff coming up; it feels good to be a part of the industry that is really growing so fast right now.”
