Davido Reveals Artistes Shaping His Current Sound
Davido has opened up about the music shaping his current sound, revealing a playlist that cuts across continents and genres.
The Afrobeats star said his listening habits follow no strict pattern, as he moves between sounds based on what connects with him in the moment. That approach has him rotating both Nigerian and international artistes.
Among them is Tems, whose sound continues to gain global attention. He also highlighted his close creative link with Chris Brown, a partnership that has produced a large catalogue of unreleased music and continues to grow.
Davido also pointed to Future and Lil Baby, reflecting his long standing connection to Atlanta’s hip-hop scene and its influence on modern sound.
For him, the mix is intentional. His playlist does not stay in one lane, and that same freedom now shapes his music, blending Afrobeats, R&B, and hip hop into a global style.
