Afrobeat musician, D'banj, got into a chat with members of UK and US music collective, The Fedz, on Spindle's "Artist on Artist" session, where his career inspiration became a subject.
The singer who dropped a new album, "King Don Come" on August 25, 2017, revealed that he finds motivation in everyone including artistes younger than he is
He recounted a story about signing Davido with a Rolex
in the year 2014, but that only proved to be a temporary arrangement
after the latter's parents insisted that he must go to school.
The MTV Europe Music Award winner is however appreciative of the fact that the 'Coolest kid in Africa' songster went on to join the hierarchy of top musical talents in Nigeria and indeed Africa.
“I
remember in 2014 when I went back to Nigeria, some young boy who used
to work for me brought an artiste to me and said he wanted me to sign
the artiste. I remember we gave the artiste a Rolex as a signing-on fee.
"I
signed the artiste and then I got a call later on and they said the
parents of the artiste wanted to meet with me, so I went and they said
‘please I want my boy to go to school’.
“And to look at today that the boy I’m talking about is one of the biggest artistes out of this generation, which is Davido”, he disclosed in the chat.
