I remember how elated I was when I received a dm from a friend who worked with Davido’s management team The Plug that I was one of the few people shortlisted for Davido’s listening party. It was like a dream come true. I don’t hide the sentiment I share for Davido. I believe that the Fall crooner is yet one of the most incredible musicians the continent has ever seen. He’s resilient and has an infectious personality. He’s steadily establishing a foothold in the American market. Davido‘s second studio album A Good Time is set for release in October.

It’s quite funny that I arrived at the venue of the event a little early. I would rather be an early bird than get to the event late. After some meandering and trying not pass out from the dangerously chilled breeze, a select number of people gathered in the hall. The aura of the room changed immediately Davido came in. A wave of greatness washed over me and everywhere became tranquil. He was casually dressed in a patterned shirt, some designer jeans and a Gucci cap. He greeted some media personalities and people of interest amicably. It was exciting to see.

A few minutes passed and Davido was seated in front of the crowd. MTV VJ Ehis was seated next to him. He was the host of the event and he started by asking Davido about his show in O2 earlier in the year.
