Davido Discloses Secret Studio Setup in Father’s Residence During Early Music Career
In a recent interview circulated online on Monday, March 25, 2024, Nigerian music sensation Davido stunned fans with a revelation about his humble beginnings in the music industry.
The acclaimed artist, born David Adedeji Adeleke, disclosed that he harboured a clandestine recording studio within his family’s home, unbeknownst to his father, Adedeji Adeleke.
Despite sharing a residence with his father, Davido managed to conceal the studio within their expansive household, which boasted over 20 rooms. He attributed his success in maintaining secrecy to his father’s routine of retiring directly to his quarters after work, oblivious to the musical endeavours unfolding under the same roof.
Davido delved into his early academic pursuits during the interview, disclosing his initial move to the United States for a college education. Transitioning from a school in Tennessee to one in Alabama, he faced opposition from his father, who sought to dissuade him from attending school in Atlanta, his city of birth.
However, amidst familial expectations, Davido found himself immersed in a vibrant musical atmosphere at his Alabama school. As Nigeria’s burgeoning music scene gained momentum, he felt a compelling pull to return home, ultimately opting to abandon his studies to pursue his musical dreams.
The Timeless crooner underscored the magnetic allure of Nigeria’s music industry, expressing a profound desire to contribute to its burgeoning success. Davido’s candid reflections shed light on the intricate journey that propelled him to become one of Africa’s most influential musical luminaries.
